Kyle Dubas once again proves his GM brilliance and superiority to the entire hockey world and all CapFriendly viewers when the Maple Leafs acquire powerforward Tanner Pearson from the Vancouver Canucks to play on the team's second dominate line with Tavares and Nylander.

The Leafs without a doubt would have the two best lines of any team presently in the entire National Hockey League after this hockey trade.

Pearson is the final piece for the Leafs to win a Stanley Cup in Toronto after being a key member of the Los Angles Kings when they last won the cup. This trade brings back a lot of memories for older Maple Leafs fans of another big Leafs trade when the team acquired Red Kelly from the Detroit Wings in the sixities which resulted in 4 Stanley Cup wins for the team.

The trade makes sense for the Canucks who are trying to free up cap space after this year as they acquire Kerfoot who is from Vancouver and only has 1 year left on his contract vs Pearson who has another year remaining after this year.

Pearson is recharged playing for the Leafs and becomes a dominate leftwinger once again playing for his boyhood idol team, moving close to home, playing with Tavares and Nylander on a dominate line and on a super team with a great chance of winning a Stanley Cup and bringing it home to Toronto.
