If he sprouted up to 6'2", that would be amazing. Add in 2-3 more years of development and he could be a force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 9 hours ago, SILLY GOOSE said: Totally!!! I was listening to him on the Pat Cast and kept thinking why does he think he is a physical only player? You watch him play and you can see he has some good offensive instincts and seems like he has some good agility. The more I watch him play the more I see a Hamhuis like player- a good 3 zone player. If he turns out that way that's a pretty good player to get isnt it? Watched a couple episodes on the youtubes to see what it was, cause the thumbnail doesn't show his dumb face, and I instantly wish I never did. Yet my stupid self decided to watch for a few minutes. I swear we have the worst media in the league. I know it's bad to generalize but geez. That was hard to listen to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shades of a young Kevin Bieksa, would be so down to have another guy like that on the team!! Wonder if he and Juolevi could become a new Hamhuis - Bieksa pairing? The future sure is bright here.

Liked what he said about his year and what next year will bring. top pairing guy, big pp minutes and will Be one of the teams leaders i really don't think it's a stretch to see Woo be one of the top dmen in the WHL next season.. in the moment I wanted wilde or wise... but I'm 100% onboard with this pick. Think he will make it to the big show and be an impact player. Here's to WOO! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Canuck Drogo Posted June 28, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2018 I was listening to NHL network on Sirius radio today and they were talking about Woo potentially playing on Hughes’ right side one day if all goes well. If Woo can become what we all hope he can, that could be a deadly pairing. Woo using his speed to close in on an attacker, then blowing him up with a hit. Woo retrieves the puck and feeds Hughes who uses his edges and dangles to make everyone look like pylons. Ahhh, one can dream lol 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Diesel Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) I wonder how high on the Canucks board Woo was. I know Ryan Kennedy of the Hockey News had him ranked as his #21 prospect in the draft. Others had him ranked in the 50's or 60's. This was a crazy draft for variance of opinion among teams and scouts. I wonder if it was just Woo's injury and subsequent change of role that accounts for such a disparity in the rankings. Anyways, i'm happy with the pick and he Woo seems like a safe bet to make the NHL. In the 2nd round, if your able to draft a guy who is in your bottom pair it's a win, top 4 is a homerun. Any other ranking have Woo in the first round? Edited June 28, 2018 by Bert Diesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Marek had him at #19 in March. Dobber prospects had him at #25. Brett Slawson of the Hockey writers at #24. All things considered, there were many scouts who had this guy as a first rounder. Anyone saying this was a reach is objectively wrong. How he turns out only time will tell but it looks like a solid pick in a draft deep on defenceman. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How he turns out only time will tell but it looks like a solid pick in a draft deep on defenceman. He definitely wasn’t a reach. There’s a better argument for him being a steal. Was picked either later or right around where he was ranked. There just happened to be a handful of “fallers” still left on the board that some people maybe liked better. However, with some of those fallers, there have been whispers about some serious concerns that led teams to pass on them. With Woo, it seems mainly about his numbers (which are easily explained by his second half usage after returning from injury and some lineup additions). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Ward Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Here is a review of another 2nd round pick from the whl after he was drafted 49th in the 2nd round. Shea Weber, Defense Round 2, Pick 49 Age: 17 Team: Kelowna Ht/Wt: 6-3, 190 Hometown: Sicamous, B.C. Stats: 70 GP, 2 goals, 16 assists, 18 points, 167 PIM Comment: Weber is a tough, physical player who fills the Predators need for a big defender. Weber is most noted for his strong skating ability and his no-fear approach to playing defense. The 6-3 defenseman has the ability to physically dominate opponents and clear out players in front of the net. The Predators thought so highly of Weber that they moved defensemen Tomas Slovak to Colorado to make room for Weber. Weber needs to add muscle to be successful in the NHL. Weber was member of the 2003 WHL Champion Kelowna Rockets this season. Read more at http://www.hockeysfuture.com/articles/6107/predators_draft_review/#Hw6LdOlSdyVor3TS.99 Sound familiar? Woo's idol is Weber. Right shot on top of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get our 1C at next draft so Pettersson can stay on the wing, and we will be in business baby.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
