This gets the Canucks below the salary cap to start the season and solves their backup goalie dilemma. Montreal gets another pick as Kent Hughes continues to stockpile young talent.

DeSmith is a Frisbee Golf champion ( side note). Serious look it up!
Wow some literacy from management. About time we had competent people running this organization.
Kent Hughes continues to be good to his players; trades then when he promises them he would.
Jeff the gold mine Petry provides again.
Casey DeSmith should be Happy! A lot Longer DISC GOLF Season and a lot Better Disc Golf Courses in B.C. vs. Quebec.
Great job by Montreal, I like Pearson and they get a pick out of it to, and this essentially gets tacked onto their return for Hoffman and Rem Pitlick
Good deal for both teams
That third round pick was just to remind Pearson that this is the 3rd time Rutherford has traded him.
Montréal had 4 #2 goalies : #35 Samuel Montambault, #34 Jake Allen, #? Casey De Smith and #30 Cayden Primeau Their #31Carey Price is Injured for the rest of his career.
Rutherford wasn't impressed with Pearson in Pittsburgh and dealt him quickly in 2019. I knew he'd be traded soon … but not this soon. Great to see him move to Montreal & I hope Pearson does well there. I liked him but I could see he wasn't the right fit for management's vision.
I think Montreal won this trade, but I think it is close enough that I'm happy the Canucks didn't have to give up more to get under the cap.
As a Canucks and Habs fan, i like this for both teams
This is white glove robbery. 2025 will be a great draft year. A Cunucks third round pick might be in front of the bus. I don't have confidence in Cunucks future.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Habs
pearson was not in the plan for the team going forward no matter what happened with his injury. Glad to see him get a chance to play with another team. We still have moves to make to make the team better but slowly and surely we are getting rid of the players that have no future here with the team.
This is certainly one of the trades of all time
I like DeSmith. A very capable backup. I wish TB could have fit him in under cap, but good for DeSmith.
Let's go almost hockey time 😎😎
Good work by Allvin. Solved 2 problems with 1 deal. With Poolman (2.5) on LTIR they will be cap compliant and DeSmith is a serviceable back up on a reasonable contract (1.8) with only 1 year remaining.
Canucks are slowly digging themselves out from Benning's horrible situation.
I read Pettersson at first
To get rid of that entire cap hit of Pearson and get a solid back-up goalie for just a 3rd round pick is a great deal for the 'Nucks and Montreal loses nothing of real value either whilst getting a decent forward if he's healthy. I haven't checked the cap situation in Montreal but that helps keep them above the cap floor too if they needed that. Win win trade
Thank god we got rid of tanner, goodbye you won't be missed, thanks for the over priced cap hit and bottom six production. Finally the canucks are trying to fix the cap
DeSmith must be devastated. His dad is a gigantic habs fan.
As a pens fan I’m so glad for desmith to get a real chance maybe more play
so at the end of the day, the Habs traded Hoffman and Pitlick ($5.6M) and $2.3M retained salary, for
a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th pick, Pearson ($3.3M) and some AHL depth (Legare and Lindstrom)
Did I get that correct?
So it basically boils down to Hoffman and Pitlick for Pearson and 3 picks.
Sucks to lose a 3rd but it fixes two problems so im good with it
I was waiting for DeSmith to really battle Jarry in a 1a-1b hot hand. He makes some great saves, but then will be out of position for an easier goal, a solid backup, used to close games.
People don’t want to admit it but this is the deepest Canucks team since the Sedins Era. Canucks will surprise some folks this upcoming season
I can't believe anyone took Pearson given he has not played a game after his hand surgery.
As a suffering Canucks fan, I've liked Pearson for a long time, but if the trade had to be done, I get it.
NO! I've always liked DeSmith. I don't care what anyone says.
I hate my favorite team.
"Don't sleep…"
For an even trade you should wear one team's sweater and the other team's hat! Love your work The Hockey Guy!
Rutherford must have a grudge against pearson or something
Went Wughes has made nothing but great move as a GM so far
Good RIDDANCE, DayOfSmith!!!
He was upset about being traded to us Habs.
Enjoy the rubber fire of Vancouver.
