Where's Wellwood 4,700 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 It's too bad Woo wasn't invited to the training camp. Though I understand that he's under the current AHL D-men and Rathbone on the depth chart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cory40 2,576 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Rather give our prospects a shot rather than bringing in another 6 mil cap hit. The media controls this team too much. We can get better with youth. We can replace Veterns. You have to start the pipeline for it to work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

grandmaster 2,384 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I hope this guy is ready for next season. We need him and OJ to step up here. Our cap situation is too tight to land land big names like Pietrangelo, Eckblad, Barrie or Dumba. Be nice for some ELCs onto the team to get Marky, Toffoli and Tanev to return. 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Woo I doubt will be ready for a while, he wasn't even invited to the WJC try out's. Mean time we thankfully we have RHD Rafferty who put up great stats last year in Utica, looks to me like he's more advanced then Woo. On the LHD side I tend to think Rathbone will get a long look he seems to have a complete game at Harvard Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On the LHD side I tend to think Rathbone will get a long look he seems to have a complete game at Harvard I see Rathbone having a full solid year in Utica then making the jump the following year. I think OJ is gonna stick with the club. He's paid his dues and there's probably a bit more urgency to see what he's got whereas we can be a bit more patient with Rathbone. Unless of course he blows camp out of the water. Woo will probably be another 2-3 years. Could end up as a solid top 6 D(Dillon level) IMO hopefully. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's the question, on the LHD side Rathbone or Juolevi, who ever it is I hope it's made on merit rather than politics.

By merits if I were a betting man it would be OJ due to the fact that he paid a lot of dues in the AHL last year(with being a main PKer and on the PP) and could step into a PK role and 2nd PP role in the NHL. That's quality minutes. Frankly Greener knows a lot more about OJ and what he can do and what roles he could potentially step into. Whomever is playing in the top 6 should be playing the PK or else you rely on Tanev/Edler/Myers more than you should. Rathbone might be stuck getting low minutes in the NHL or in the pressbox which isn't good for a 1st year pro player. I doubt Greener is the type of coach to put rookie defenseman who he doesn't know or hasn't gotten information like you would from AHL coaches on the PK like OJ. Also you gotta consider what's the better development path. Rathbone would play a lot more in his first pro season in the AHL without any risks of sitting in the pressbox. Have to remember it'll be his first pro year. Big jump in quality of play. OJ also had the huge advantage of being in the bubble with the team all playoffs. Spending time with the coaches, the players, practicing with them, building chemistry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is unlikely to be an AHL this coming season so it's going to be tough Juolevi might end up with TPS, Where Rathbone ends up who knows Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Underrated because people only look at offensive numbers, and he didn't score more once he got traded to a new WHL team. I really hope that Woo is able to get a spot in Finland or Sweden somewhere. He needs to play a lot and stay healthy. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Canuck #12 571 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I see Craig Button doesn't have Woo listed in the top 10 in his latest rating of Canucks prospects on the TSN website. He's been overtaken by the likes of McDonough, Utunen, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
