Good stuff. He’s had a great season in Moose Jaw.

That's awesome. The kid has an impressive skillset, but the most impressive thing I've seen is his compete level. On and off the ice, it looks like he's got a drive in him. And that's the most crucial thing for prospects imo. He's got everything it takes to be an NHLer for many years, I'm happy he's signed with us.

What does this mean? He can't play in Utica right?

The contract slides until he makes the team. He can play 9 or fewer games with the Canucks next season without burning a year.

Thanks.

His ELC won't kick in until next season if he plays a game.

The Warriors are going to the playoffs but aren't favourites to go far. He could end up in Utica this season if he signs an ATO after the Warriors are eliminated and Utica is still playing.

I echo these thoughts, though I'd like to start a campaign to substitute the good English word "competitiveness" for the hockey jargon phrases "his compete" and "his compete level." But it'd probably be a campaign of one.

If he plays more than 9 games in the NHL next year, then yep—otherwise it slides as he'll be a 19 year old

 

[Canucks LB]

Just one of the coolest skill sets in our prospect pool, gritty defenceman who has offensive tools

Kids a beauty. Watched him a few times. Bieksa with more potential.

Yes, sorry I didn't specify

 

[Ryp37]

Headshape similar to Horvats, bodes well

I'm trying to do the same with "impactful," we could team up.

If he makes the NHL you can bet he'll be a fan favorite here.

 

[Bobby Digital]

He's fit perfectly with Quinn Hughes. They're going to form a formidable pairing in the future.

 

[VanJack]

Have the Canucks ever drafted a true top pairing d-man from the WHL?....Garth Butcher, who I believe played in Regina was a high pick, but really not a top-four guy. Woo might break the Canucks WHL slump.

And I suppose if they were to draft Byram, would they have two members of a future 'top-four' pairing? I defer to posters who watch the WHL far more than I do.

Maybe Brent Sopel?

Not WHL but WCHL: Harold Snepsts (2nd pairing)

 

[Catamarca Livin]

Looks promising. Very young still does not turn 19 until July. Nice to have prospect with edge as well. Our d actually has some promise a few years out. Need more but at least some potential.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Good. I like the cut of his jib.

 

[Get North]

The most exciting prospect we have. We need a skill-set like his desperately, will instantly be the most physical defenceman on this team, which is sad.
