The Vancouver Canucks' fourth signing of the day is Guillaume Brisebois, who they inked to a one-year, two-way deal. Brisebois' signing comes at the same time as fellow Abbotsford Canucks teammates Arshdeep Bains, Aatu Räty, and Max Sasson. The defenceman is one of the Canucks organization's longest-tenured players, as he has been with the team since being drafted in 2015.
“Guillaume played a big role and was a key contributor with Abbotsford during our Calder Cup winning run,” said Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin. “His leadership and poise on the ice helped our group a lot during the AHL playoffs, and we are happy to have him back in the fold for another season. Guillaume will add to our organizational depth on the backend.”
As mentioned, Brisebois was drafted by the Canucks 66th overall in 2015 and has remained a consistent presence on the organization's back-end in both the AHL and the NHL. Often called up as a depth defender, Brisebois has seen playing time with both Vancouver, Abbotsford, and the Canucks' former AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets. He made his NHL debut back in 2019 and has racked up a career total of 30 NHL games played.
