Tanner Pearson Doubtful to Play Next Season

Tanner Pearson's hand injury suffered in November was supposed to keep him on the shelf for three weeks. Fast forward four months and he not only has yet to play again, there is an outside chance he never plays again.

After 5 surgeries - and counting - Pearson is doubtful to play next season. The hiccup in his return centers around an infection which developed after one of the first couple procedures.

Just a horrible break for the 30-year old.

Pearson and his $3.25 million cap-hit have sat on the long-term injured reserve for the last three weeks, which helps the Canucks clean up their situation. If Pearson's career is indeed jeopardized due to his injury, one has to wonder about a malpractice suit.
