The Vancouver Canucks have announced the signing of defenceman Jett Woo and goaltender Nikita Tolopilo to two-way contracts. Woo, 24, comes off a strong season with the Abbotsford Canucks, contributing 18 points and a solid plus-18 rating across 67 AHL games. His playoff performance saw him lift the Calder Cup with a total of 6 points in 22 games. Tolopilo, also 24, brings a noteworthy record from the AHL, including four shutouts and a debut in the NHL last season, showcasing his potential as a reliable goaltender.

These signings reflect Vancouver's strategy to strengthen their roster with emerging talents, particularly with Woo, who was drafted 37th overall in 2018 and has shown consistent improvement. On the other hand, Tolopilo's transition from an undrafted free agent to a dual contract player exemplifies the Canucks' commitment to developing young players. Both players are set to contribute significantly, with their contracts allowing flexibility as they aim for a stronger season ahead.
