Tanner Pearson

[StuntMan12]

What do you think his future production will look like? I got him but wonder if I should bother keeping him around or look for something else. He has 12 pts in 22 games so far this season.

I think he will be around 40-45 points this year.

He has the upside to be a decent second liner, I'd say upside is 55 to 60 points, although I'm not confident he will ever be a consistent 60-something point guy.

Long term I still like him. The Kings don't have much in the pipeline for LW so unless they go out and actually acquire a high end LW, he will remain in the top six. I also think the Kings are high on him and are willing to show patience with him.

He should have 50-55pt potential most years.

Agree, drafted him last year in my keeper and sold him after 2 good weeks. His durability is also a concern for me.

[ericdaoust]

I am a fan of this guy. As stated, he has a great opportunity in the years to come.

[Crazy Joe Davola]

He has 60 point potential for sure. Like others have said, great spot on a weak LW depth chart. Lining up next to Kopitar for the long term would obviously be great for him.

I thought about moving him to make room for some other guys but I will trust your guys opinion on him and if he does have 50-60 pt potential for awhile then he is worth hanging on to. Thanks

Well what exact move are we talking about here? Context is important and there's definitely situations where trading Pearson would be best for your team.

It's a keep 19/24 players. There are some good players left in FA that I want to pick up too. Since I have to drop 5 next year I thought he might be creeping to that spot but figured I could move him + another player for an upgrade. But I will have a better idea on my team once the mid draft is done. It's in another 4 or 5 weeks. It's optional though, we trim out roster down to 19 before the start of next season then have 5 rounds of drafting.

I'm 100% in favor of upgrading your roster and then working your magic to find a gem to fill the void.

Ive got some gems up my sleeve. I'll post how I did after it's all said and done. As Bart Scott famously said "CAN'T WAIT"
