Important update on Jett Woo: Canucks finally reach a decision
While continuing to work on contract extensions with some of their bigger name UFAs, the Vancouver Canucks are expected to get something done with defence prospect Jett Woo.
Inside Rick Dhaliwal says the Canucks are planning to extend a qualifying offer to Woo, but could also look to negotiate a new deal altogether.
Canucks will qualify D Jett Woo this week but don't be surprised if they get a new deal done soon as well.
His qualifying offer is $813,750.00 according to CapFriendly, but a new deal could see the 23 year old signed for more than one season.
Woo was called up to the NHL this season amidst injuries to the blue line, but has yet to make his NHL debut.
He has played the last four seasons the Canucks AHL affiliate, showing a steady increase in offensive production after a strong WHL career.
With the Canucks inevitably needing production from cheap contracts at the end of their lineup next season, Woo could be a player who takes a bigger role in Vancouver in 2024-25.
