Dannydog Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I’m really hoping Canucks resign Kyle. I believe he’s earned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a mistake to NOT retain Burroughs. Great depth guy that can be a 7/8 but then step in after being in the press box for a long stretch and not look out of place. Oh, and he stands up for his teammates...team needs more Burroughs not less! I mean a deal cant be that hard to do, 2 yr 8-900k per. Would only make some sense if they did want to bring Schenn back for that depth role and leadership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far as Schenn sticking up for a coach getting fired is a reason he wasn't resigned, so highly doubt he resigns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very unlikely that Woo is Schenn level next year, but he has shown marked improvement in Abby this year. I do agree that he'll at least fight for a spot next year.

I do agree that he'll at least fight for a spot next year. The only issue I have with that is how much TOI Woo would get in Vancouver. His game is coming on simply because he is getting playing time. The previous 2 seasons he simply didn't get enough games because of Covid and injury. Because of his waiver status I hope he stays in Abby and if he shines there then maybe he comes up to stay by December. I don't want him sitting in Van or have him lost to waivers.

I do agree that he'll at least fight for a spot next year. I like all this Woo hype but sorry, I just don't see him better than the guys we already have. The list is long, even on RD. Right now, with no changes, IMO we've got: 1) Hronek 2) Myers (yikes) 3) Bear + Dermott 4) Burroughs 5) Woo 6) McWard Depends what Allvin wants to do with Bear and Dermott in the off-season, to be honest we can't really keep both so depends on how much money they want because they're similar enough. Bear was brilliant before his injury, very inconsistent afterwards. I really liked Dermott, plays gritty at times but not as offensive-minded, but we haven't seen him play properly in ages. I just don't see Woo beating out Bear, Dermott and Burroughs to get a roster spot. Of course if there's massive changes (eg. Myers and Dermott out) then there's an opening, but he hasn't even played in the NHL yet as a call-up, so has a long way to go. To be honest, we've seen Burroughs play well for us as a limited minutes guy, if his minutes get too high or his responsibilities too much (eg. on the ice against top lines) he gets destroyed, and he's been average on the PK, but he has a spot on this team IMO on our bottom pairing so he should be duking it out against Bear and Dermott for the bottom pairing RD spot.

It might come down to how well Woo does in the Calder. Because of waivers I can see Woo in Abby until Nov/Dec based on who comes out of camp and how they perform. Woo brings size and truculence which Van needs on the back end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really depends on if he can continue his trajectory. With the way he is now, I don't see him beating out those three guys, but if he continues to improve during the playoffs and through the off-season, he could be good enough to contest them for a spot IMO. I've never really bought into Woo hype, but it does feel like this is the best he's ever been based on stats and the games I've seen. I wouldn't call it a disaster though if he doesn't make it. He's not likely to ever be better than 5/6 anyways. That said, Woo is at the age where he will soon move out of prospect stage and into career AHLer stage, so it's a crucial time for him. He's still just 22, but will turn 23 this summer so is only a bit younger than Rathbone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a 23 year old right shot D who plays physical and has more room to develop IMHAO he gets plucked if we try to send him down. He could develop into another Chatfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the Hurricanes developed Chatfield speaks volumes to how well that team operates. Chatfield played many games at 10 - 12 minutes of TOI. Gradually they up his ice time. IMHO Woo has every bit as much potential as Chatfield and is much bigger. My hope is that they keep him in Abby until things shake out coming from the pre-season. Meyers is moved and PA picks up another top 4 right D or Johansson surprises out of camp. By December things should have shook out and Woo might get a crack. Bottom line is he is subject to waivers and if he is brought up it will be to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 19, 2023 Author Share Posted June 19, 2023 Quote After a long period of no talks with UFA Kyle Burroughs agent Ross Gurney, the Canucks have reached out to Gurney and made a contract offer to the Langley native. A heart and soul player who finally got a call from the Canucks. https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1ssa3m9 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Hopefully Burroughs doesn't feel slighted, that it has taken this long to finally get a call from the team. I really do hope he stays. Just a great soldier amongst many BC boys who have suited up for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
