smokes Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 The amount the Hitmen gave up for one year of his services should be an indicator of how excited we should be of him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible he makes the Canucks next year. Unlikely, but possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MystifyNCrucify Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Makes you wonder how ticked off the hitmen would be if benning decides to keep woo in the nhl as even the seventh defenseman a la virtanen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they supposed to be a better team than the Warriors next year? Is this a big deal or just a meh thing? Moose Jaw isn't exactly in a great position to make a splash in the playoffs next season. Even with Jett in the warriors lineup it would have been hard. However I'm not overly confident in saying Calgary is in a better position than them.

Even the pro coaches in both the AHL and NHL haven't able to get him to live up to his potential yet. Virtanen has close to 40 points. That is really good. He needs more time to hone his craft but I'm sure he can. We should see a new Virtanen next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God help you......and............. who's the 'we' you're talking about? Virtanen's development is fine - he's a 22 year old 15 goal scorer while playing principally shutdown minutes on Sutter's/matchup lines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had the potential, but has developed slower than expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabreFan1 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 @oldnews What's the confusion? I thought Virtanen was going to explode onto the scene with his combination of skill and power once his arm healed. I was wrong. He's taken a slower, more traditional route of development. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year, we should hopefully expect 40. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that matters is we don't admit to any wrong doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Stoch Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Oh no! The Flames are going to use their connections with the Hitmen to slow down Woo's development like they did with Virtanen. /sarcasm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was to occur, I think the NHL and CHL would have to intervene really hard, Calgary could see a really nasty penalty like losing draft picks and such. It would be akin, if not worse than tampering with an active player but also manipulating another league. The tin foil is so crinkly when I touch it..... It feels so good on my head and no one can read my mind.... I did wonder this thing when JB took JV out of the Hitmen and into the NHL when we clearly wasn't ready. just say no to the tin foil until we have some justification....
