While Brendan Gallagher and Josh Anderson are challenging, if not impossible, to trade with their big contracts, the same cannot be said for Tanner Pearson, who will be a free agent this summer.
According to Pierre LeBrun, although the forward may not be at the top of other teams' lists, he still finds interest.
The veteran wouldn't cost much to acquire, and even if the offer is minimal, Kent Hughes has no reason to refuse to trade him. Pearson won't be returning to Montreal this summer, and he isn't an asset in the team's current situation.
