MONTREAL — Tanner Pearson's initial reaction to being traded brought a combination of feelings.
"I've gone through it before," he said."It's actually nice it's right before camp so I kind of still get to camp with the guys and work into the systems of what we want to play. It sucks at the same time, but it's a good time." But in 2022-23, he had just one goal and four assists in only 14 games after suffering a broken hand in Montreal last November.
Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes said recently that the strength in Pearson's hand was at around 80 per cent. Pearson was more bullish on his recovery, saying there was a"nine per cent difference" from Hughe's estimate. Pearson also stated that he had been skating since June.
