Elias Pettersson Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Not really high on this guy. I wanted the local boy Kevin Bahl instead. Alexander Romanov was taken one pick later by Montreal and has already played 133 NHL games. Kevin Bahl is gonna be a beauty. 6'6" 230 pounds and can skate. This is one time we should have taken the local kid... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the the other side of the coin also, given up on a 21 year old defenseman. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Gordon Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I understand why he was moved to forward late in the season along with fellow D and ex Vancouver Giant Alex Kannok Liepert, Abby was hit hard with call ups and injuries to front line forwards and they found themselves short of bodies. But at least Cull managed to find a way to keep Woo in the lineup even if the experiment didn't really pan out. Woo never really adjusted to the position shift and wound up sort of playing defense out there anyway. Skating would be his strong suit so you can sort understand their thinking even it if didn't work. I personally thought the right call for the playoffs was to move Jett back to the third pairing along side Sautner or Brisebois but then, no one is paying me the big bucks to make these calls. Still, it was kind of puzzling to see him out there playing forward in the playoffs with other, better options available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Trent Cull on Jett Woo: “For Jett Woo, we felt like we were getting stronger on our back end, I brought him in and asked him to [play forward] for the team, so to speak. We wanted to try to fill a forechecking role. Jett, when he gets moving is a guy who skates well, and can have a physical edge.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that this guy has not really materialized, this part of the quote makes one wonder if there are more times than not where hr doesn’t “get moving”. My take on Jett Woo is that he doesn’t not have the fire in him to be a pro. Such a shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had read that as he doesn’t have very good acceleration, but once he’s going he has decent speed and can take the body. But truthfully I haven’t really watched him play. I always wanted to see him succeed. The “WOO” cheers would have been so fun! Hopefully he still pans out… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can’t beat out the likes of Poolman and Hunt……. Guess what. He isn’t good enough to play in the NHL. Oh well. Move on. He isn’t going to be better at forward than the prospects who have spent their whole life playing the position. BUT He is only 21. He hasn’t shown much, so my expectations are low, but he is still super young and has time to develop. Furthermore, he's a RHD. You can't give up on those by making them 4th line forwards.

Clearly the new management sees Woo's path to our big club as a fourth line sandpaper, PK kind of guy. We need those players too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
