The Vancouver Canucks have signed defenceman Jett Woo to a three-year entry-level contract, the organization announced Saturday. Woo, 18, was originally selected by the Canucks in the second round of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft at 37th overall. 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. “We’re very excited at the strides Jett has made this season with Moose Jaw,” said Canucks general manager Jim Benning. Jett is an important part of our future and we look forward to his continued development.”But don’t expect to see Woo in a Canucks uniform anytime soon.
