The Vancouver Canucks announced earlier today that the team had activated Tanner Pearson from injury reserve. Pearson missed all but 14 games last season after a mistake by the Canucks medical team led to major issues with his surgically repaired hand.

Just hours after being activated the Canucks have officially sent Pearson east. According to Frank Seravalli the Canucks will receive Casey DeSmith in return for Pearson and will include a 3rd round pick heading back to Montreal.
Full trade, per sources:

To #Habs: Tanner Pearson, 2025 3rd Round Pick
To #Canucks: Casey DeSmith

No salary retained.

DeSmith ends his Canadiens career having never played again and instead will start next season as the backup behind Thatcher Demko.
