Canucks Trade Jett Woo to Sharks for Jack Thompson in AHL-Focused Swap

The move gives Vancouver a younger right-shot with recent NHL minutes to bolster organizational depth.

Overview

  • The one-for-one trade was completed Thursday with both players in the AHL, so neither NHL roster changes immediately.
  • Jack Thompson, 23, a 2020 third-round pick by Tampa Bay, played 31 NHL games for San Jose last season and recorded 4 goals and 10 points.
  • Jett Woo, 25, drafted 37th overall by Vancouver in 2018, did not play an NHL game for the Canucks and logged 293 regular-season AHL appearances for the organization.
  • Both contracts expire after this season, with Woo slated for unrestricted free agency and Thompson a restricted free agent.
  • PuckPedia lists Woo’s AHL salary at about $290,000 and Thompson’s at roughly $115,000, providing Vancouver modest minor-league savings.
