The Vancouver Canucks have signed defenceman Jett Woo to a three-year entry-level contract, the organization announced Saturday.
The hard-hitting, right-side defenceman was considered more of a stay-at-home type after putting up just 25 points in 44 games in his draft season. But Woo returned to the WHL for his draft+1 season and broke out offensively, averaging over a point a game and obliterating his career highs in scoring with 12 goals, 52 assists and 64 points in 62 games for the Moose Jaw Warriors.
“We’re very excited at the strides Jett has made this season with Moose Jaw,” said Canucks general manager Jim Benning. “He plays the game with good intensity and attention to detail at both ends of the ice. Jett is an important part of our future and we look forward to his continued development.”
