The top teams in the league usually remain pretty healthy throughout the year. Investing and holding on to injury prone players isn't really a recipe for success. Staying healthy is a skill mediated by the context of one’s work environment. Having the worst schedule in the league last year contributed greatly to our poor health. This year, our worst schedule so far occurred in November, but far worse than November will be March - right before the playoffs. Hopefully, JB can clear enough cap space to add some bodies such as Tryamkin, Rathbone, and maybe even Hoglander to reinforce our troops. Also, it is to JB’s credit that he has accumulated some valuable assets in Utica - when we get to March and the imminent playoffs those assets will be invaluable.

Tystick 3,415 Posted January 18, 2020 I feel like Woo has been forced into a role that doesn't fit his strengths. Should be able to join Utica once his season is done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think people realize that Woo can produce and has the tools to be a very effective offensive contributor from the blue line. Not a 50 pts a year level, but 30 and 40 pts a year levels. Similar to Hammers and KB3's production if he can make the show. He has the speed, size and physical play to pair very nicely with either OJ or Hughes in the future. He will need 2 years in the AHL at least, IMO l, but I could see him as a full time roster player as a guy that can play a bottom paring with his physicality and move up if he clicks with one of the two mentioned above. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why do you just assume that? I'd say most of cdc is aware he scored 66 in 62 games last year and was one of the last cuts for team canada. You dont accomplish that withough having offensive tools.

CanuckleHorse 712 Posted January 27, 2020 Love this kid was wishing we could’ve some how land him through trade because didn’t think he’d be there in the second round he is a very good piece. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Where's Wellwood 4,628 Posted January 27, 2020 If Woo makes the Canucks in the future, he may be the first jersey I get with a name plate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two way guy implies he has some scoring upside to go with defensively responsible. Lots of us acknowledge his scoring, it’s not news to those following him. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was on the Woo Train and the the Woo Tang Clan prior to his draft. I know he can produce. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think some people take that year with a grain of salt because he was playing on more of a stacked team. He does have offense but it's not elite offense. I agree that woo will probably be more of a 40 point guy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he can be something like a 'Bieksa' for this group (physical, +/- 30 point, 2nd pair/2 way 'complimentary' guy), we're laughing. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edler usually puts up 40pts being #1 guy and running the pp. Getting a 20-30pt solid #4 guy out of Woo would be solid IMO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
