Re: Canucks Young Guns
See Rafalski at first and Phil Housley when Quinn Hughes reaches his pinnacle prime years.

Re: Canucks Young Guns
People starting to love some Jett Woo.
Update on some other Canucks prospects:

I know a couple NHL people quite well and there are 2 dmen that they say the consensus amongst many NHL scouts that watch WHL say the most impressive dmen with best NHL potential and play the game hard from the WHL are Alex Alexeyev(CAPS) and Jett Woo(Canucks)..
One thing that the scouts love about Woo is his agressive play and hitting ability. You dont see that much from players nowadays and the scouts drool over it
Woo getting compared to a Hamonic/Phaneuf/Vlasic/Bieksa(in his prime) type, plays with an aggressive edge, but plays a safe game and now is getting a lot of points, he should get over 60 pts this season.This prospect is not getting enough recognition.
Top 6 in WHL Dman scoring alongside names like Ty Smith, Josh Brooks, Calen Addison even though Woo is regarded to be a lockdown defence 1st Dman.
Hes having a massive D+1 year especially for a 2nd rnder.
Lots of recent reports has him stylistically compared to a Vlasic style with Phaneuf edge.

Re: Canucks Young Guns
Really goes against tradition but if Woo continues the way he is, AND has a great camp, he could make our squad next season.
It is doubtful Juolevi will be ready for NHL duties by camp. Can't start skating hard till late summer.

Re: Canucks Young Guns
Wids mentioned it in the GDT, but, what do people think about Lockwood getting some games in this year? He's available the same day Hghes is (obviously).
The Cup is soooooo ours!!!!!!!
Re: Canucks Young Guns
Lockwood would be better suited for the AHL playoffs in Utica imo.
Hughes will start in the NHL tho obviously.If they (hughes/lockwood/madden) were to sign ELC’s dated to start in 2019-20 and then sign ATO with Utica.
Appear in an NHL game and not eligible for AHL playoffs

Re: Canucks Young Guns
Lockwood was not papered to the AHL, couldn't be as he isn't under contract. He wouldn't be eligible fo rAHL playoffs, at leastI don't think.
The only HW the Canucks need
Re: Canucks Young Guns
Lockwood can play in the AHL right out of college on a amateur tryout ATO.Hockey Widow wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2019 1:32 pm Lockwood was not papered to the AHL, couldn't be as he isn't under contract. He wouldn't be eligible fo rAHL playoffs, at leastI don't think.
ATO- this is an Amateur Try-Out agreement, and is for players who are coming in from college and have never played at the professional level.
These type of contracts are common at the end of the season as many players try to break in to the pro leagues after the college or junior season is over. The ECHL, AHL and NHL all use ATOs.
