Scouting reports I’ve read on Woo remind me of a young Bieksa. If he replaces what Bieksa did (dunno if he’ll chuck them like Kev) then it’s a win for Benning and Co.
Love the Sport. Love the Team.

Hate the League.

Rai was a 5th rounder. Woo is a high 2nd rounder.

All the mock drafts had him going from late first round (20th and on) to where we picked him. It’s not a reach

And all things being equal (or at least close), Montreal drafts the French-Canadian kid.

Interesting to note that Detroit did not feel obligated to draft the Wolverine. Doesn't really count as a local? Different fan-base culture?

Late first round to several spots after where the Canucks picked him.

No one has complained that hard about the pick (yet). I don't think you need to start defending it unless he struggles to make the team in two years.

Jack Wise not too long ago was once ranked to be the 1st overall selection in the 2018 Draft. What happened there? LOL!

Body Wilde was ranked not too long ago to be a top 10 pick! What happened there? LOL!

Madden?

Skilled, smallish centre

Is this John Maddens kid?

Love this puck
As dirty as it feels to agree with Dude, I also love the Woo pick. Some sandpaper and aggression is most welcome. If he is anything like Bieksa, it’s a fantastic add.

No 4th rounder. It was dealt for Derrick Pouliott
