Few people expected the Vancouver Canucks to be 6-3-1 and third in the Pacific Division through their first nine games of the season. Virtually nobody also saw Derek Dorsett leading the team with six goals, either.
Though he’s surely going to be surpassed by the likes of Bo Horvat, Brock Boeser and Sven Baertschi before long, Dorsett’s hot start to the season may erase all the doubts we had about him.
Let’s be honest, nobody was exactly thrilled when general manager Jim Benning gave him a four-year deal worth $10.
