Tanner Pearson of the Canadiens may have played his last NHL game
It's a sad realization, but we have to face the facts: Tanner Pearson's future in the NHL is anything but certain. He may very well have already played his last game in the NHL.
Indeed, the veteran did not participate in the team's last two games, and the Canadiens managed to secure two victories, delivering solid performances against Seattle and Colorado.

I tend to agree with Renaud's remarks, as Pearson is no longer the 40-point, 20-goal scorer he once was. We saw some promising flashes at the beginning of the season alongside Sean Monahan and Brendan Gallagher, but time is not on his side.
Nevertheless, he will have been appreciated in Montreal and in the NHL. A Stanley Cup winner with the Kings, Pearson is a respectable player and an equally remarkable man.
I wish him the ability to reach an agreement with another NHL team for next year. At 31, it's a bit early to retire.
