He's 28 and a fourth liner. You do not sign those guys to extended term. They fall off the map. Even for one year this is overpayment. For FOUR?

This year, Dorsett is:

-Last on Vancouver in shots for % at 42.7%
-Third last on Vancouver in shots against per 60 (so much for being defensively sound)
-Last on Vancouver in shots for per 60
-Last on Vancouver in Corsi at 42.7% (the worst Oiler is 43.8%)
-On-ice shooting percentage of 8.9% (unsustainable; previous 3 years he averaged 6.4%)
-Literally every player he plays with has better possession stats without him on the ice than with him on the ice.

The Sbisa deal is even WORSE somehow - there is only one regular defenseman in the NHL this year whose goals against per 60 is worse; Oscar Klefbom. And Klefbom's on ice save percentage is .879, so it's really his goaltenders' fault more than his. Sbisa's is .904. He cannot play defense - I noted above that Dorsett is third last on the team in shots against per 60 minutes. Sbisa is below him.

Now take into account that Sbisa got 700k more than Deryk Engelland - which was in the discussion for last year's worst UFA contract, sad to say - on the same term.

Now take into account that Sbisa is a RFA.

Jim Benning is literally a ######. There's no other explanation, he must actually have brain damage. Combined, these two contracts are basically the Canucks' version of David Clarkson.
