Sigh. This is not good for his development. The Hitmen are controlled by the Flames organization.
They just traded away a huge haul to acquire him. I don’t think the end goal is to ruin his development to benefit the Flames.
With The mature game that Woo plays ...I wouldnt be too shocked if he makes the Canucks next year. I'd give it a 20% chance.
Perhaps Moose Jaw believes this as well which is why they traded him.
It can also be the reason why we haven't re signed Luke Schenn it what seemed like a slam dunk guaranteed.
There is no way Woo is making the NHL next year guys, none.
Also this move to Calgary will be excellent for him. Strong team pushing to contend.
Moose Jaw moved him because they're rebuilding.

A 19-year old (in late July) D-man should not be on our NHL roster when we already have one 20-year old rookie penned in and just know they will try to find any reason to keep Juolevi on the roster as well.
Let him be the #1 guy and continue his development at a level that won't destroy his confidence.

Woo is still two years away from seeing any NHL games, he will have one more season in the WHL and then one season in the AHL with possible call-ups.

Brandon Carlo and Henri Jokiharju did it from around the same draft range.
Jet Woo is a very well developed 19yr old physically and mentally.

He's unlikely to play in the NHL next season. To say it's impossible, however, is just ... silly.
It would probably not be a wise idea to add a 19 year old rookie to a core that will feature a 20 year old rookie already. Just not sure how we can ease 2 super young D-men into the lineup at the same time.

All depends on how they play and who is ready. I don't think Woo makes it this next season, but 2020-21 would be very nice

Agree
Im a WHL season ticket holder and Woo is ahead of both the 2 WHL guys i mentioned at the same ages. As we've seen with both Carlo and Jokiharju seasoning is never a bad thing....both are somewhat raw.....Carlo obviously drafted 2015 is pretty settled now and he was a late birthday so he was going pro regardless.
Back to some of my posts about Portland re. Jokiharju..... he had tremendous lateral movement, quick 1st step a really good 1st pass with IQ poise and can contain and run a pp. which is why in my game reports i was lobbying for him with our 2nd. Obviously that was a moot point as Chicago saw what i did and he went 1st round. I liked him more than Glass when i would see them play. Obviously Cody has higher potential hence the draft position.
Anyway it is unlikely but it really wouldn't suprise me given the year he just had and how far along his maturity and strength is. I think he will turn some heads at camp. this kid is incredibly driven and dialed in on his dream and he blows up junior aged kids and was game star for Moose Jaw so many times we lost count which is high praise for a mostly defensive defenseman who got top line assignments every night.
It's a lot more likely Benning goes out and tries to sign a big name free agent (Myers Karlsson) as he has to be feeling heat from Aquilini this summer big time and i doubt he wants to risk another playoff miss on rookie defenders.....we'll see
It’s terrific for him to be getting out of Moose Jaw, who will be a horrible team next year.

Hitmen are operated completely separately. You're being stupid with this take. The Hitmen had a good playoff run and are building a good team. Moose Jaw will.be rebuilding this upcoming season.
Good trade for both teams and Woo.
Woo will benefit from playing his final WHL season in an NHl rink on a team loading up to make some serious noise in the playoffs. If for some reason the Hitman falter, Woo will be in Utica with 20 games still left in the AHL schedule.
Really a 'no lose' situation for the both the player and the Canucks.

I hope they can develop Woo better than they developed Jake Virtanen.
