With all our defensive injuries road travel, he'd be automatic insurance. Plus he would get to the show sooner. Lots of backlog at D for him to jump over. Worked pretty well for Biega, got him some games he would otherwise not have played. Ballard got a few games on the wing too. It would definitely appeal to both a coach and a GM when a Dman can do a creditable job of playing forward if necessary. Versatility has a lot of value. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We’re always checking out the standings. I always joke around with them about how I can’t stand watching the Flames,” Woo said Friday night after his Calgary Hitmen junior team dropped a 6-5 decision to the Vancouver Giants at the Langley Events Centre. “It’s a fun time. It’s exciting to see what the Canucks are doing right now.” 8 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He could be a utility forward playing 5-7 minutes a game, but then imagine we're in a playoff game, then a defenseman gets injured, and bam Woo comes in at D to save the day.

I've watched him play here in Calgary a few times. He tended to be noticable, but not exactly dominant. I was actually a little disappointed that he just didn't seem to be the physical presence I expected. (He seemed solid though and didn't shy away from contact.) He seemed to move the puck well and take smart shots. Overall, against harder competition, I feel he has a ways to go. I personally feel a couple years in the AHL are in order. But that's just my opinion based on 3 games. I am also hardly an expert on assessing raw talent. 3 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I watch Woo 4 times I thought he was solid on puck , made smart plays, was physical but not over aggressive.. I would say Woo is at least 2 yrs away from NHL so Maybe 2022 season....Listed height is 6'0, 200 lbs .....He looks 6'0 maybe 185.....

Certainly not something I would describe as "such a nice car". I had a Jeep Liberty for a rental car once and it was the crappiest vehicle I can remember driving - noisy, gutless, poor handling and very thirsty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_Cathode 2,835 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 It could be tough to make Utika this fall if there is no player movement up or out: Brisebois Rafferty Juolevi. Chatfield Teves. Sautner Eliot All Canuck prospects! and all pretty good. Usually AHL defences have three or four older AHL club signees on the D. We played most of the year with Canuck signees, on occasion with one or two Utica signees. Woo may have to start in the ECHL, just as MacEneny and Eliot did. Though Imwould not be surprised to see Rafferty move up if Tanev does not re-sign or if Stetcher is moved. Though, if Tryamkin is signed (Tryamkin can play either side) that might be another block in the way of upward movement. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see a substantially different D in Vancouver this fall. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see a substantially different D in Vancouver this fall. Biggest thing last year (this year?) was that we remained completely healthy on the back end and therefore couldn't audition any of our younger players without potentially messing with our playoff chemistry. Although I would have personally preferred to see Rafferty, Brisebois or Juolevi get some games instead of Fanta or Benn when their play was down. I don't think we can keep Tanev unless we are allowed to compliance buy out Eriksson and Sutter. That opens a spot for Tryamkin and allows some competition within the bottom 3. Though if we do manage to resign Tanev to a short term deal (will only be injured more often as he ages) then we could trade Stecher.

Even if it's just Sautner as 7th. I also think Woo, (assuming he shows well) could easily bump Teves or Eliot. Edited April 15, 2020 by aGENT 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
