Why the Canucks should start playing leading goalscorer Derek Dorsett less

In the battle for the best storyline to come out of the first ten games of the Canucks season, rest assured there's only one right answer: Derek Dorsett.

It's not just that Dorsett, whose career high for goals in a season is 12, is leading the Canucks in scoring with six goals less than a month into the year. Or that the eight points he already has put him on pace to obliterate his previous career high of 25.

Consider for a moment where Dorsett was at this time a year ago. By mid-November, the excruciating neck pain that had dogged him since he joined the Canucks onward had forced him from Vancouver's lineup.
