Confirmed with Link: Canucks re-sign D Jett Woo to 1-Year, 2-Way Deal ($775/$150)

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Had a really nice season last year and got injured at a terrible time. Good to see him back with the team - arguably Abbotsford’s best defensemen, and deserving of some NHL games at some point.

I'm cheering for him. It feels like I've been waiting forever for one, just one of the Canucks D prospects to defy the odds and work his way up from the AHL to emerge as a solid, cheap bottom pair guy.

Is that too much to ask?

At times, a good player for Abby last year. In fact, just before injury was having one of his better stretches.

Doubt you can have much confidence he pushes for a job in Vancouver as this is probably a recovery year (from the injury) in Abby.

Certianly has paid his dues at the minor league level.

I think you mean D/RW

 

[Bitz and Bites]

It’s now been six years and I’m still waiting for the Woo-Hughes pairing to become a thing.
Maybe this year will be the year.

Maybe Woo can defy the Canucks 'CHL curse' under Jim Benning. So many d-man drafted from so many different leagues......and with the exception of Hughes, all of them flamed out.

Things were particularly dismal in terms of WHL d-men drafted. Maybe a breakthrough year in Abbotsford gets him back on the NHL-radar again.

 

[krutovsdonut]

i really want this guy to make it.

 

[alternate]

Woo-hoo! I guess.

 

[David71]

almost becoming like a bust pick. make it or break it for him next season. or else hes abbotsford bound forever

 

[David Bruce Banner]

He deserves another shot. I'm rooting for him.

 

[ziploc]

We all want to be Wooed.

I like the FA defence signings for the most part but it's easy to see that they bought time with this contract. I do like Woo but his first complete solid season was probably last year, the previous year he improved as the year went on but wasn't that great at the beginning IIRC.

With the injury recovery and just trying to build off his first good pro season it makes sense to sign him for two years. Desharnais and Forbort are only 2 and 1 year signings, if Woo develops they can move off those guys.
