Also odd because Bahl is a lefty and they invited 2 undrafted right handed prospects instead of Woo. Kinda hard not be be disheartened a little about Woo's development. Doesn't seem to be taken the next step and a few guys like Addison and Bahl who were drafted lower got the invite over him. Last year got me all hyped up that Woo could be a top 4 guy in the NHL but right now I'm more expecting a Jamie Benn type bottom pairing guy if he even cracks the NHL. When there'$ literally billion$ of future dollar$ at $take (combined lifetime NHL salaries of the players on the WJC team), I would $uspect that there i$ a LOT of corruption at thi$ level of hockey. But hey, that'$ just $peculation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't give up on his that soon. Woo is just 19 and has +++ developing years ahead of him. Jordie Benn was never drafted and at Woo's age was still playing in the BCHL for 2yrs; the ECHL/CHL another 2 yrs and then finally made it to the AHL at 23yrs old (Texas Stars). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AK_19 421 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I mean, he wasn't really drafted for his offense. How has his defensive play been? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post aGENT 36,169 Posted December 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2019 Yeah, not worried about Woo's offense on a less stacked team. Besides, we have Rathbone coming to be Hughes-lite. We don't need that skill set out of Woo of it happens to not be there at the NHL level. Solid, physical, 2 way D with some complimentary scoring is just fine. 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post spook007 9,501 Posted December 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2019 Still remember how excited I was when they picked Woo... Nothing has changed... Still hoping he'll become the next Bieksa for the Canucks... 3 2 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_Cathode 3,010 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I kind of see Woo as a right-handed Hamhuis. A very good defensive D that can be very physical ( Hamhuis brought down some big men with that hip-check) and in the right circumstance bring some decent O - at best a strong number 3, but at least a good third pairing guy that can play higher when called on. He did not have a strong start to this year, but started last year the same way, then kicked butt after he was rejected by the national juniors - kind of like Lind last year. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's been absolute crickets out there for reports on Woo's play this year. I've been waiting and looking for some sort of report on his play other than just stat watching. Either there just aren't many Hitmen fans out there or his play has been mediocre so people naturally just don't want to $&!# on the guy. I'd love to hear someone who knows hockey to give a report on his play this year. Edited December 3, 2019 by Ihatetomatoes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TSN makes it's big coin on this tournament with eastern (Ontario and Quebec) viewers. Look to see several of the Leaf's, Sen's, and Hab's prospects on the Canadian team, whether they deserve it or not. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't mean it in the sense of him not progressing as a prospect, just in that it sucks we won't get to watch him at the WJC. I still think he will be a player for us down the road. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's tons of terrific dmen in the NHL that were overlooked by their countries' world junior team. Woo will do just fine, regardless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
