He will be effective because he brings a tenacity that the Euronucks so often lack in the playoffs.

Dorsett had
the least icetime per game of any Canuck who played regularly, and was
10th amongst Canucks forwards in penalty killing time per game.
If the Canucks didn't trust him to regularly go up against top offensive players during the regular season, why would they do it in the playoffs?
