Was lurking HF for once since I missed the Comets game and wanted to see what people were saying about how the prospects played. Saw a pretty disturbing stat:

Derek Dorsett's NHL playoff career:
43 Games
0 Goals
2 Assists
2 Points


I like him as much as anyone, but I'm starting to think we could have gotten a cheaper/bigger tough guy at a more reasonable price to play on the 4th line.

It also seems like he's the go to babysitter for a lot of the young guys. The value of that doesn't show up in his stats but it was probably a factor when they were negotiating his contract.

For a team that is trying to get younger it's a pretty crucial role and it's one that not every fourth line energy player is suited for. The thing about Dorsett is that while not the biggest guy, and not the most talented, he plays damn hard and tries to take a pound of flesh along the way. It's probably a good thing to be exposing our younger players to.





...Those stats are ugly though.

Then he will enjoy Buffalo . Another player trying to force Mgmts hand . Benning should say give me 8 teams or pack your bags you are moving to Utica unless some team picks you up.

I agree with DariusKnight, means Canucks would work out a trade and Bieksa would then negotiate an extension with that team prior to waiving his NTC.

Shipping him to Utica (if he only has a NTC and not a full No Movement Clause) only saves about $900k. Not worth it.

He would never make it to Utica . His 2.5 mil salary would be picked up in 30 minutes or less , like Dominos pizza

D-men are too valuable to give him away for nothing.

Pretty slooooooow for everyone besides the Hawks and Lightning. Hopefully one of them can close it out in six so we can get to the silly season.

Lots of talk about the Canucks trading a goalie, Edmonton wanting a goalie, the Canucks wanting a draft pick, Edmonton having lots of draft picks...

But Edmonton also has lots of centers... Have they said they won't trade Draisaitl?

You can sign 3 Dmen with Bieksas salary. COrrado Clendenning and Bartowski. Watching him play for the last 2 years, all three would be an upgrade.


This is like a junk collector moving into a beautiful home and refusing to throw away old clutter because it has a little value , so they keep the mess

You won't get a top 5 pick for Lack or Markstrom or both

Draisaitl, if they should choose to trade him, would bring a massive return in the way of a top two defenseman or a starting goaltender.

We have neither of those so I don't see a good fit in Vancouver for him…although I'd love to have him, he reminds me of Ron Francis.
