[Rick Dhaliwal] “Canucks sign Abbotsford captain Chase Wouters to a 2 year AHL contract, 225,000 per year. He would have interest on July 1st. Good signing, quality leader in Abby.”

Wouters has been a truly exceptional captain for the Abby Canucks despite his young age. He probably doesn’t have realistic NHL upside, there’s just no offence there even at the AHL level but man is he a fun heart and soul player to watch. Great defensively and sticks up for his teammates. Happy that he’s staying in the organization.

Honestly not bad to be playing hockey for six figures.

Didn’t have to * *Chase* * him down to sign this contract

Deserves some time in the NHL in my opinion. Not sure why he’s so overlooked.

Why don’t we bring him up to nhl once?

Guy won like 4 Calder Cups as captain in my EHM so this is clearly an excellent signing

Not everyone that plays semi-pro makes it to the NHL. For many that’s their ceiling – and for 225K USD per season a pretty nice way to make a living.

Seen a lot of Abby hockey in person. Wouters is routinely one of the hardest workers on the ice. He even does a ton in the community year over year. Great signing, it’s easy to root for Wouters on and off the ice.
