Popular Post -Vintage Canuck- Posted January 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2019 Jett Woo on Sportsnet 650: "Season has gone really well. Coming into the season, everyone thought it was a rebuilding year for the team, but we’ve been doing really well. Myself personally I’ve been working on my offence and power-play and it's another step to progressing my game, but I’m focused on the team game." "Feeling confident after the injury last year, body feels great this year and has been a while since I’ve felt this good and hopefully it keeps going." "Playing around in BC has been a lot of fun, in Kamloops there were people wearing Canucks jerseys and yelling my last name is really fun." 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoastsniper Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Good to know he's working on his offence, and it's showing this year. If he can have a Bieksa like trajectory, he'll be a really valuable to the team. Physical and reliable defensively but can also chip in offence once in a while. One thing I noticed is he's able to change the angle of the shots around a defensemen to get the shot through to the crease. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcam Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) I watched Jett Woo play in Victoria tonight as his team beat Victoria 4-0. Jett Played a solid game keeping things simple, smart plays with puck in his own end. Mr. Woo got under the skin of most of the Victoria players... Jett Woo looked good on the power play as Moose Jaw went 3-3 on PP Very very good power play .. Impressed with Woo as a 18 yr old D man, not shy of rough play, made some big hits... Woo 37 GP 37 Pts --- Brooks -- 32 GP - 43 Pts Tracey GP 41 - Pts 42 - Almaida GP 37 -56 PTS Langan 41 GP 73 PTS Edited January 19, 2019 by wildcam 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's quite a bit shorter than I thought... kind of reminds of Tootoo out there with the physical play. He looked good on the power play. He took every opportunity he could to finish checks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylecanuck Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 If Woo is able to mainting this play through the season, there may be a serious chance he makes the canucks next season. He has the body size already at 6'0 and 200 when drafted, and who do we have ahead of him on the right side? Stetcher and Tanev, both fan favourites and players I love. Tanev is fairly injury prone and in the last year of current contract, I do see him resigning on past this season though. Stetcher has great heart and plays the game well, but I'm not sure if he is that big in the future plans of the canucks with Hughes also being a smaller defensman. Woo is currently putting up better numbers then Rielly and Hamonic in their D+1 seasons as 18 year olds. I am not a fan of looking at stuff like this to predict a future, but it does often prove to be true I believe. Our right side is weak, and Woo is strong!! What are his chances of him making it next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are his chances of him making it next year? Like 1% chance. Really excited about this prospect, but he still has a lot to learn about handling NHL level forwards. He's bigger and stronger than 90% of the kids in the WHL, but in the NHL, he's going to be at a complete disadvantage and will need to build more strength. If we tried to drop him into the NHL next year, then he's in a position where he's weaker than 90% of the other players on the ice, and that will just destroy his confidence. Don't try and be Edmonton, they have pushed their development back years, by rushing players to the NHL who weren't ready. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger-Hearted Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 The "WOO!" chant is going to be the 21st century version of "HAARROOLD!". And it should only reserved for Jett Woo, ie. goals, assists, fighting & roughing penalties. "WOOOOOO!!!!!". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it's going to happen, but I'd be saying at least a 2% chance he makes it no? I agree there is no sense in rushing a prospect, and another year in the WHL would probably be good for him. I also see a good hard meat and potatoes type of player in a man's body putting up great numbers for an apparent defensive defenseman. Another year of superiour strength at the WHL might not be as good as bottom six minutes in the NHL. It's crazy how young this kid still is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Woo is listed at 6 feet, but after seeing him, I think that’s at least two inches too generous. Can anyone confirm? I love his physical play. He would be very unpleasant to play against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy how young this kid still is I think you are really getting ahead of yourself regarding Jett Woo's timeline. He will almost certainly spend next year in the WHL and likely the year after that in the AHL before he is ready to play in the NHL. As good a prospect that he is; he has a lot to learn yet IMO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a REALLY great prospect, putting him in the NHL next year, would be a huge mistake. He didn't make the World Junior team because he still has holes in his game. Let him work through those and spend a year in Utica when he's done with the WHL. We'll get a much better player if we do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
