the Vancouver Canucks have traded Tanner Pearson and a 2025 third-round draft pick to the Montreal Canadiens for goaltender Casey DeSmith.

WWII is over my friend

rejoice and have a beer

yeah, maybe a weber type of move at some point if they need to do it

I read they changed their strategy with Price and his contract but maybe it was only waiting longer before they put him back on LTIR

mtl is still paying for Alzner, lol. Un défenseur épais

They have to handle Price’s contract strategically so they can maximize both off season and the seasons cap space and flexibility

Just the pick would have been fine is what I'm saying. No need for Pearson. He will probably be traded at the deadline for another lower pick assuming he is healthy.

Can't dump desmith without taking Pearson

I don't partake in spirits, but you go ahead!

Further over the cap, so can't push the LTIR into the season, and now we basically have a Hoffman replacement, for a 3rd?

I've pretty much been on board with most of HuGo's moves, but I do not get this one at all.

60% of the time…..it works every time!!

Dump him on waivers, send him to Laval if he passes, better off overall than takign another forward that basically replaces Hoffman..

you dont get the pick if you dont take Pearson and you have to keep Desmith, thats the point

but yes, I assume they will try to trade him down the road, if they can

If only Hoffman was as injury prone as Pearson.

But, to be fair, Hoff never ever puts himself in harms way……that would mean playing some defense and basic hockey.

I went the Bell Centre last October and Hoff is the WORST player I’ve ever seen live!! Right up there with Red Light Racicot

The GM shouldn't promise to trade him then

new blog, how dare Hughes interrupts my dinner lol: https://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=122776

I don't hate the trade, just don't love it either.

This helps make up for it though:

So the second set of Jeff Petry trades ultimately netted the Canadiens a second, third and fourth round pick in the 2025 draft, Gustav Lindstrom and Nathan Legare.

if the Canucks are actually going to use DeSmith, then the habs aren't really "dumping" him, I don't think acquiring Pearson was necessary...

True!

This!

spirits?

It's dumb and always happens. Promises things, you want to speak, but busy. Email to ask about the plan and get no response. Decides to do something else before leaving and not tell me
- mr.peanut

wow

- Pat1993

to get the pick and trade Desmith, yes, cause it just happened

I dont think Hughes wanted Pearson in a bad way, but he had to be a part of the deal

and he knows and might be able to trade him around TDL

so yeah

wow
