Even if it's just Sautner as 7th. I also think Woo, (assuming he shows well) could easily bump Teves or Eliot. Up till the point Teves got hurt this year in Utica, he was the best defensive D there. Not the same guy afterward, maybe lingering effects of the injury. Coming season, though, and a chance to heal and train may see his game return. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And if so, we have some good depth to potentially trade. Either way, I'm not seeing the 'problem' with fitting Woo in. He's our own high draft pick who's trending well. They'll make sure his development is a priority so long as he continues to trend well. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It would be surprising to me if Woo didn't make Utica next season. I also can't see how Teves cracks the left side on the Canucks. I guess he could get picked off waivers but why? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think if he becomes anything close to Bieksa we should be extremely happy. Only about 30% of all 2nd round picks become NHL players and Bieksa was good enough for 10+ seasons in the NHL. 1 1 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Teves was a large part of Rafferty's success in the first half of the season. Usually playing together, he was the defensive conscience of that pairing 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Losing Teves didn't effect BR's production at all tho, just checked and he had 22 pts in the 1st half, 23 pts in the second 1/2 of his season. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

True. - although he did replace Ollie on the 1st unit PP when Juolevi went down with injury. And his +/- did take a bit of a hit when he lost Teves (as did Teves when he returned. - iirc he wasn't paired with Rafferty those last few games). They were a formidable pair together, although I do see Rafferty coming to the Canucks before Teves. I could see him thriving paired with Edler next season 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He was looking so good early in the season, almost on par with Rafferty, then seemed to drop off the Utica radar completely part way through the season.

komodo0921 638 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Woo is going to be a polarizing player for me. I'm looking forward to tracking his progression as a pro. Imo, he's going to be an important piece to Vancouvers future success. He may never become an offensive star but, who knows? He could become more the player he was in his draft year. If we get a Tanev type with higher intensity, I'd call picking him a win. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If we get a Tanev type with higher intensity, I'd call picking him a win. I could be wrong but I tend to think Woo may have regressed. Twice he failed to make the Cdn WJC roster, that's not inspiring, heck I think Focht came closer to making the team. We can all hope that maybe the pro game may suit him better. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You should reread what I actually said. I said he he was our best DEFENSIVE defenceman PRIOR to being injured. In the first part of the season he lead the team in +/- by a large margin at the same time as being defensively dominant by direct perception of watching the games. When he returned from injury his play had fallen off considerably and appeared no better than average. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do think Woo will be a NHL D man not sure if he will be as good as Tanev? Woo 6'0, 20 yrs, 200lbs, plays more gritty and is a agitator, decent skater NHL in 2-3 years 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
