To be honest I don’t think we sign this guy. Woo is younger and a lot better. Meaner and healthier. It’s bye bye to Juulsson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of note; neither are waiver exempt, so it is make it or break it time IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not signing Juulsen OR Burroughs is a bit of a head scratcher as they’ve both put in decent minutes with the club. Not just saying that because I like the local boys - they’re a couple of tough customers who can fill that 4RD spot nicely if nothing else. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckwings Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 It makes sense to not prioritize depth signings right now. The same reason why leafs haven't resigned Schenn despite the mutual interest. Teams need to figure out the big pieces first before signing the depth guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWestNuck Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I think we’ll sign Juulsen even if the plan isn’t to have him in the top league. He’s a good, hard working, Abbotsford boy who can move up and down. I also don’t think we need to be worried about him getting claimed off waivers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s bye bye to Juulsson. Playing with Hughes, it was hard to tell just how good Juulsen was - playing with Hughes is like Pixie dust - it magically makes you look better than you are. Still, when playing with Hughes he was quite effective - decent size, decent skater, pretty physical, decent puck handler, didn't get caught out of position, knew his role - I'm not sure that a better player would be that much more effective with Hughes - so long as you can deliver the puck to Hughes your zone escapes will be 100 % easier. The other effect that Schenn brought to playing with Hughes was his role as guardian angel - he was very good (and probably still is) at pest control. I would not at all be averse to seeing Schenn back here again - especially with Hronek and Bear hurt on the right side. I really like Woo, and how much he improved with the great coaching support in Abby in the past season, but I think he needs a year of coming in as an injury replacement for short stays to get acclimatized to the NHL in a protected situation. Like Burroughs, Woo can also play either side. I'm not sure he's ready, yet, for a full time role. His confidence has been restored in the past season, and I'd like to see him retain it - not sure that throwing him to the wolves would help that. Watching Johansson in Abby at the end of last season, he looked pretty sound, but he too might need a couple of months of acclimatization. I like Burroughs, he is a guy that is all heart, he'll do anything to help you win, but I'm not sure that he is a full time NHLer... yet! But a seven or eight role would not be a bad thing. And, if you play against a team that likes to get rambunctious with the talent, he is the kind of guy that can help to keep them healthy - and being able to play either side helps in that utility role.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Quote UFA defenseman Noah Juulsen is a player the Canucks like and they are talking to his agent about a new contract. https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1ssa3m9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juulsen played 12 NHL game and then got injured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woo played great last season.Remember previous season he dressed as forward in there 3 playoff games.. This past season Woo really improved and showed. Lets hope he improves this season and gets in 8-10 NHL games.. Liked watching Woo in WHL very gritty stay at home D man and RH shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point the Canucks have made an offer to Burroughs and have been negotiating with Juulsen's agent, which means they have likely at least put an informal offer on the table even if no formal offer has been made. But it would not surprise me if both guys (or the agents) want to wait until the UFA period starts to see if there is interest from other teams. They probably figure that the Canuck offers won't go away immediately. Of course, I understand that both guys like it here so they might prefer to eliminate uncertainty by signing now but my guess is that there agents are telling them to wait. Neither guy is likely to get more than the NHL minimum, but maybe they are holding out for term (maybe 2 years instead of 1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Canuck #12 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I'm sure they love to get a one-way contract as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalCanuckFan Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I assume the Canucks would offer Juulsen and Burroughs the same kind of deal Brisebois and PDG got - NHL min but high end AHL salary. IMHO, both guys deserve another shot at NHL minutes, even in a depth role. With Johansson and McWard joining Woo in Abby next season, it will be interesting to see how this all works out. Abby doesn't really need another RHD and adding one would bump Johansson and/or McWard down a level. Competition is good, but playing time is a finite resource. I wouldn't mind either Juulsen or Burroughs as a 2nd spare D with the Canucks. Personally I lean more towards Juulsen as I think his size and play style compliment the core D better. That being said, Juulsen has had problems staying healthy over this career - it's probably what's really held him back from what was a promising NHL career.

There's a risk (albeit uncertain) that he might get plucked off waivers if we try to send him there during the pre-season/to start the season, so no guarantees that he'll make it to Abby.

Hairy Kneel Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Juulesen on the 4th line for his hitting. Utility forward with a clear role to punish opponents physically. Plus we always lose a defenseman about 10-15 games a season. Juulesen can cover that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
