Don't want to have to rush a prospect in order to try and protect him, from a junior team. Don't think we can blame Virt's slow development on the Hitmen. Even the pro coaches in both the AHL and NHL haven't able to get him to live up to his potential yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldoescobar Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 While this is probably nothing to worry about and other than it being a pretty sleazy thing to do, what would stop the Flames from telling the Hitmen to maybe not play Woo as much as others or in situations where it may not be to his benefit?

Are they supposed to be a better team than the Warriors next year? Is this a big deal or just a meh thing? Depends on how you look at it. Conspiracy theorists will immediately point to recent history which suggested that Canucks management specifically did NOT want Jake going back to jr (when it was likely in his best interests) because he would be going back to a Hitmen organization which is partially owned by Flames owners as well. Conspiracy theorists will make people believe that Flames owners would not want to invest or properly develop a player who isn't their own asset - like I said, conspiracy theorists will suggest this. OTOH, the Hitmen have developed and graduated countless players who went on to solid NHL careers. This year, they (Hitmen) started off slow in the regular season and had a fairly young team - to their managment/fans surprise, they finished well and won their first round playoff series against a very good Hurricanes team. I believe this success has led the Hitmen management team to believe that they can build off this momentum and they've invested in Woo as a sign they are going to make a go of being very competitive next season - so in that regards this is good news for Woo's development as he will be on a strong team with playoff aspirations who will more likely than not make further moves to solidify their roster even more. Woo was already a 'go-to' defender in Moose Jaw and saw plenty of minutes in every conceivable situation - this likely won't change in Calgary as he'll be a 'go-to' defender again who will play in all situations so in that respect I think it's no different. Bottom line, I don't think this will harm his development in any way and may actually be good for him if Calgary goes 'all-in' to take a run at a division championship or even bigger aspirations.

Would rather he stayed in Moose Jaw, the Hitmen are a freaking horribly run organization lately...I don't trust them to not screw up Woo's development... although I will admit it will be pretty funny to see all those Hitman fans doing Rick Flair's 'woo!' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not unrealistic for him to score 20+ next year If Jake is a consistent 15-20 goal guy who could potentially be one of those playoff guys then I’m happy with the pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been saying for a couple of years now, if he turns into one of the league's more solid 3rd liners, I'll be happy. The league is littered with top heavy teams who don't even make the playoffs. ie: Sabres. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
