If dorsett does eventually make it to the nhl it will be fun watching him try to get under the skin of guys like chara, thornton,domi.....lol.

How do you guys he is going to adjust to the 'new' WHL rules?

That's just the thing. I don't think that Dorsett is big enough to take any of those guys on. If Dorsett does make it to the NHL (which I HIGHLY doubt), it will be a very short stint.

assuming dorsett does come back for another year....
(you are talking about dorsett right?)

Sometimes he was one to take dumb penalites...
but he does have speed, like any player it will take him a couple games to get used to the new "no=tolerance" , but i think in the long run it will benefit him.......or he will set a new record for penatly minutes

They have some serious depth problems if they sign a player they just selected 260th overall (or whatever) and assigned him to their farm team, though I suppose it has happened before.

Yup, especially if they crack down on charging But seriously he does have the speed to keep up, so he doesn't have to obstruct players. I think it is the stuff he does away from the play, that he is so famous for that could cause him problems.

colombous depth problems....no way....lol


Refs will be keying on him since they know he is an agitator....he'll just have too control his temper to a certain degree....it may be a problem if the refs call more of the behind the play stuff......but he might also stay away from it more next year cause he will be a 20 yr old....one of the team leaders
