Quoting: Tjm220
As he does not score goals he does not fit Buffalo’s long-term goals either. The Sabres already have several players who create plays, (Krebs, Mittelstadt, Cozens) what they need are more guys who finish. Specifically a top six caliber guy, and Tanner Pearson is no longer it. Aside from being willing to take on expiring contracts from teams looking to create cap space for the trade deadline, the Sabres are more interested in bringing on somebody who fits our current core and would be here long-term.
I agree,
but Pearson could still be a useful player for us
Most Sabres fans think we need to get more physical
I’d agree as long as the guy can actually “play” as well
Pearson might not be an ideal scoring winger,
but that what we’ve got Skinner & Tage & Quinn (coming) for
Could we use more “scorers” ?
Of course
But we could also use a guy who’ll play tough & score 15goals playing in the middle6 for us
Especially if Vancouver is just dumping him for cheap
