*Buzzsaw* Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I actually like Dorsett, and I think he has done generally well in Vancouver... he is a tough nosed player, who has to be complimented for his guts in standing up to guys who are twice his size. But is there really room for him on the team? Maybe WD likes him, but the facts are, his job can really be done by players who are already on the team and who will cost less and probably deliver more. For example, Pedan, Tryamkin and Gaunce. Whether Pedan is converted to a forward full-time or if he is left on defense, then he will supply a lot more enforcement toughness, he likes to fight, and will stand up when called on. I don't think Tryamkin likes to fight, but he is not shy in the rough stuff, and will happily smack down anyone who comes near him. If you want the speed and physicality on the forecheck, I think Gaunce will be the ticket... he is going to improve next season, and his impact will be greater on the fourth line than Dorsett. I see Gaunce having a better offensive output next season than Dorsett. So there is no reason for the team to hold onto Dorsett. We don't need a bantam weight tough guy anymore. The good news is I think there is still a market out there for Dorsett in the league... and a good chance Benning could pick up a decent prospect or pick at the 2016 Draft.

Kazmanian Devil Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Nobody wants his garbage contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalky Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Benning may be able to get an 8th rounder for Dorsett, but even that is stretch with that boat anchor of a contract. We may as well keep him, he has value as a 4th liner on our team...in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Buzzsaw* Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Whatever we can get for Dorsett, it will be worthwhile to trade him. He really doesn't have a place on the team, and his contract could be better spent on someone else... like Baertschi, Rodin, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
