LOVE this kid. His vision and passing are insane, he's a really dynamic skater and has an excellent shot. Only knock on him I've noticed at the U18s is his stride power, but that can be worked on.

That quick release wrester from the point kinda reminds me of that bearded fellow in San Jose.

I love Jett Woo, but my question mark is still his offense. Question mark in a relative sense though because it isn't bad or anything (funny enough, I thought he actually should've scored a few more points at the Hlinka and was better offensively than the box score showed). And he is rock solid at everything else. Gaps, pinches, 1 on 1s, defensive coverage, puck moving out of his end with passes or skating, boards battles, you name it. Kid just drives play forward.
That shot encapsulates his offense surprisingly well though from the plenty I've seen. He's more a guy who I think will volume shoot from afar than snipe/make plays, and he can sometimes stand a little too still at the blue line when getting the puck and not really use much space in the o-zone, even though he's smart and a good skater. More a grip it and rip it guy than a creative defenseman. I've seen him surprise though on pinches and stuff when he gets the puck down low. Like I said, it's a question mark, not a certainty. At ES that's fine, and he can still project as a potential #2/3 type d-man there. But how that affects him as a PP player is more what I want to know this season with regard to his ceiling because he can be a bit static up there. With the RHD Josh Brook out for a good spell, who isn't that good on the PP either, I imagine Woo gets more PP time to showcase himself. Don't know how he was used that game.

I watch this kid every home game. He was injured a few games ago against Regina, hasn't played since.
His game is really all about shutting the opposition down. He's a beast in his own end. Built like a tank and loves to get physical. His skating, specifically his edgwork, is amazing. He is very evasive against forecheckers and often leaves them behind as he pulls a move and gets the puck up ice quickly. His transition passing is one of his best assets as he can retrieve the puck, keep it away from forecheckers and transition it up ice quickly. He can also QB a PP very well and has a great shot from the point. All in all I think he has a very pro-style game already with pro-ready size. I'd liken him to a Vlasic type shutdown and transition defencemen with a better shot. He has been an absolute minute muncher for Moose Jaw, plays in all situations and was logging upwards of 30 minutes a night some games.

I have only watched him in last Spring's under 18 tournament. The way he moved around on the ice reminds me a lot of P.K. Subban.
He's definitely got some very fluid skating. Not sure he has the offensive game of Subban. He has made a few rushes but he often opts to pass rather then move the puck himself. The Warriors have some great forwards though so it may be coaching. He gets a lot of his point from quick transition plays. His goals are typically always point shots that he hammers through.

Whenever he scores in a home game the entire arena yells "WOO!". Then again when the announcer gives the goal summary and says his name. It's pretty awesome.

Can we petition the league to force him to be drafted by Winnipeg?

Here's hoping he's one Jet flying limousine riding son of gun
