But that doesn't mean the Canucks aren't excited to see more offense from the right-shot defenseman, who turns 19 on July 27.
"Does that mean that's what he is going to translate into at the pro level? Not necessarily," said Canucks senior director of player development Ryan Johnson. "But we like he's adding that to his game, and anytime that you can be a hard-nosed, physical player like him, but also feel comfortable at the offensive blue line and making plays, we hope that continues to grow."
The Canucks were impressed Woo, who signed a three-year, entry-level contract March 16, took those strides playing through a knee injury that required minor surgery this offseason. Woo skated on his own during development camp and said he will be ready well before training camp.
He is expected to play another season in the WHL (with Calgary after a May trade from Moose Jaw) and should have a good chance to play for Canada at the 2020 IIHF World Junior Championship after being left off the team last year.
For Woo, it's more opportunity to expand his on-ice repertoire and embrace a spotlight that got brighter after the Canucks made him the second-highest drafted player of Chinese descent behind only New York Islanders forward Joshua Ho-Sang (No. 28 in the 2014 NHL Draft).
"Even in some opposing rinks I could still hear a lot of fans cheering for me, and the number of fans I've met has been unbelievable," said Woo. "I take it as a positive, people know me, they want to watch me play, want to see how I am off the ice."
On the ice, Woo is not changing his style, no matter what the statistics say.
