Confirmed with Link: [NYR/VAN] Derek Dorsett to VAN for 85th Overall

[bo2shink*]

Since when is a 4th liner worth a 3rd round pick? for Weise we got a 7th. 4th liners are worth 5 at most 7 for an average. Dorsett is not that good to get a 3rd. You can pick players like this in UFA for nothing. Probably my least favorite trade of the day.

Certainly too much, but maybe it was a toy for the new coach to play with. Please, please, please can we get him!!! Please!

No point bringing that guy up. Gillis dealt him and there's nothing Benning could do about it.

I agree but they gave up less to get Weise than we did to get Dorsett who IMO worse than Weise.

 

[canucksfan]

Burrows, Dorsett... all we need is to get Suarez to play hockey and we're set.

Infect all three with AIDS and get them to bite every player in the league. Only chance the Canucks will have winning the cup.

If this is the worst that Benning does, I can live with it.

Get that right side offensive top four D, and I can overlook alot of things.

 

[xtr3m]

Obviously Dorsett is Willie's idea and perhaps this kind of say is what made him choose Vancouver over Pittsburgh.

 

[CCF23]

This is a good deal. Dorsett is a good player.

Don't really like this much, but Dorsett is exactly the sort of player Benning obviously wants to build our bottom-6 around. Poor man's Raffi Torres, without quite the same hyper-negative stigma every time he does anything.

3rd round pick for this guy seems really steep, like deadline prices steep, not middle of summer prices. Also think they probably could've found a similar player on the UFA market. But i guess they really wanted Dorsett specifically.

 

[Steveorama]

Not keen on this deal. I really don't like 4th liners making 1.66 million bucks/season and I hate giving up a 3rd round pick for the privilege of paying them.

 

[LiquidSnake]

Breaking news. Dale Weise is better than any Canuck in history.

Not cool.

 

[jigsaw99]

I want Weise back

I like Dorsett because he looked quick enough during the Rangers run, but yes these are some major concerns.

Especially because he makes $1.6M shouldn't that mean we give up a lesser asset?

And with the 1st overall pick in the 2014 draft the Canucks are proud to select Jake Virtanen

 

[Jyrki]

Wow.

Although it's "just" a third, this trade borders on idiotic. Dorsett is a replacement level player who takes a lot of bad penalties to go along with his energy and hits, and gets hurt pretty often. On the level of Sestito.

E: To Dorsett's credit, he also draws lots of penalties unlike Sestito but it evens out at best.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the 3rd we traded for with our 2015 3rd?

 

[Jack Tripper]

well this trade has certainly made the team1040 crowd to buy into linden and benning

 

[Jay Cee]

I mean it is a 4th line player but I see it as positive. This is not a replacement for Sestito though- Dorsett is not a heavyweight.


Maybe an overpayment but I disagree with the common theme here. It is NOT easy finding a good energy guy, 4th liner who can fight. The legit guys that teams draft or pick up out of the minors via FA they want to keep, so it is pretty hard to find quality. Besides, the fans don't necessarily have much tolerance for bad 4th line players. This thread is no better example of how in big markets the standards of what is a "suitable 4th liner" is perhaps wishful thinking.

Change is coming.

nobody said it would be good

Hey we are letting Santrelli walk so we have a roster spot too.
