[Article] The impact of Derek Dorsett on the Canucks

[wattevr]

I like Derek Dorsett. I like th fact that he played with willie back in Medicine Hat. Willie would know how to get him in the feels when he needs to. There are a lot of players who can do the job he does, but knowing how to get your car into the next gear properly and timed correctly while cornering wins races.

I also like the fact that he made it into a Malcolm Gladwell book as an outlier. Derek is born in December and according to Gladwells book "Outliers" he has had the toughest road of all minor hockey players in order to make the NHL. Players a year older than him in the same divisions and rep teams are smarter, bigger, stronger and faster. Kudos to Mr. Dorsett for persevering. I'd be happy to have drafted him in the third round.

Good move Benning
