The value Tanner Pearson has brought the Vancouver Canucks this year might truly be enough to deem the acquisition of his rights, Jim Benning’s best player for player trade. As the team general manager, he was able to move out a brutal defensive liability in Erik Gudbranson. Vancouver in return brings in a former Stanley Cup champion who then not only manages to salvage a bad season last year but is now on pace for a new career-best. Pearson has completely returned to form as a staple on the second line and for now, the Canucks have the top-six player they needed to help make the next step.
Is Tanner Pearson a buffer in Canucks’ Stanley Cup picture?
