Longtime Canucks defenceman Jett Woo is heading to the San Jose Sharks for Jack Thompson.
The Vancouver Canucks have made their second trade involving a defenceman in the past day, moving Jett Woo to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for fellow right-shot defender Jack Thompson. This move comes only a day after Vancouver traded Tyler Myers to the Dallas Stars.
Woo has been with the Canucks organization since he was drafted 37th overall in 2018. He has spent the entirety of the Abbotsford Canucks' franchise history with the team and helped them with the Calder Cup back in June. Despite missing the start of this season due to injury, Woo put up a goal and seven assists with Abbotsford in 26 games.
“Jett was a key part of our AHL championship winning team and we would like to thank him for all that he has done for the Canucks organization,” Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin said in a press-release. “Bringing in Jack will add to our organizational depth on the blueline, and we look forward to working with him in Abbotsford.”
Thompson, 23, was drafted in the third-round by the Tampa Bay Lightning back in 2020. San Jose acquired him via trade back in 2024. Last season, he skated in 31 games with the Sharks and scored four goals and six assists. He has spent the entirety of the 2025-26 season in the AHL thus far and has put up three goals and nine assists in 42 games with the San Jose Barracuda.
The 2026 NHL Trade Deadline takes place on Friday, March 6, at 12:00 pm PT.
