A lot of tier 2 prospects & fringe players definitely got impacted hard by the Covid layoff. Woo’s rookie season was only 28 games and he did alright with 3 goals and +7. His second season was also cut short and he was shuffled around the lineup a lot. This year he has been given the opportunity to settle in and get more minutes with Juulsen and looks to be progressing well over last year. This is basically his sophomore season given the last two were shortened so hopefully with more minutes and a playoff run he can start inching his way into a top pairing and getting some NHL call ups 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 62 Games, 16 points, +7, 92 PIM's. If we want a RHD defenceman with snarl, and some upside I am totally down with that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray_Cathode Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Woo with a goal and an assist tonight. This young man just keeps getting better. I know it’s the player that has to do it, but he does seem to have come along nicely with the new coaching staff. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post VegasCanuck Posted March 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2023 People forget a few things with this kid. #1, he's only 22 #2, since turning pro, he's had shortened seasons. 28 games first season (shortened due to Covid) 42 games last season. Let's give him a little time to finish developing. Defense is usually longer to develop than forward, there's still lots of time. 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bieksa was 24 when he made the Canucks, look how well that turned out. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke was drafted 5th overall. Was always a stay at home defenceman with some upside. He jumped right into the NHL. Now the question is did the Leafs rush him and should he have spent 2-3 seasons in the minors first? What I find kind of sad, is if we didn't trade him. He probably would have had a chance to meet or beat his previous high of 22 points. Despite Toronto's vaunted offence. He's 0 points and -1 in 8 games in TO. I'd love to see him back if only to help Huggy Bear reach his potential. Edited March 31, 2023 by Ghostsof1915 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he gets in some good performances within the next season to warrant a call-up and show that he's got what it takes to stick with the bigs. That doesn't mean he's finished developing.

I think a lot of us fans have PTBD. New management is a lot better at player evaluation and prediction. If they see Woo as an NHL D man then we will for sure find ways to keep him.

His game has really come together in the last few years. I'd love to have him back as well... Again, my point is, defensemen can take time to develop. 22 years old is not an issue, there's still lots of time for him to settle in and become a solid RD for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always a chance that if we need to send him back down, that he will get claimed, but it doesn't happen as often as people think. In order to claim him, the team claiming has to determine that he will stick on their NHL level roster and is an upgrade on anyone else they have competing for a spot on defense. If not, they won't claim him just to waive him again to send to the AHL. If the Canucks determine his game isn't ready, its about 10% chance that he gets claimed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that, especially with the rough start he had to his pro career. It's great he's doing well in Abby. Let's hope he can take the next step. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even though they didn't amount to much, having that snarl on the team would've at least provided some return on the resources used in developing them. Not that our farm team (Utica) was doing much developing from what we've seen based on their output, but still. It sucked to lose them, especially MacEwen who was pretty effective, but role guys like this, often come up on waivers as teams start to settle on their lineups. Every team has the same issues of, keep a guy on roster or risk losing him on waivers. All teams have to make hard choices around the end of camp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point in his career, Woo is more functional, has fewer concerns and needed for the position than either of those players mentioned above. He'll be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
