Canucks sign Guillaume Brisebois to one-year, two-way contract
The Vancouver Canucks are keeping a veteran player in their organization for another season.
On Tuesday, the team announced that they have signed defenseman Guillaume Brisebois to a one-year, two-way contract.
General Manager Ryan Johnson announced today that the #Canucks have agreed to terms with defenceman Guillaume Brisebois on a one-year, two-way contract.
According to PuckPedia, the deal will carry a cap hit of $900,000 at the NHL level.
Brisebois, 28, played just nine games for Vancouver’s American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate Abbotsford Canucks last season due to a surgery he underwent for a lower-body injury that kept him for most of the year. In those nine games, he had a goal and an assist for two points.
Initially drafted by the Canucks in the third round of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, Brisebois became a full-time professional in the 2017-18 season after finishing up his four-year junior career in the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), which he split between the Acadie-Bathurst Titan and the Charlottetown Islanders.
In 2017-18, the Longueuil, Quebec native played 68 games for the Utica Comet, then the Canucks’ AHL affiliate, and put up three goals and 15 assists for 18 points.
In the 2018-19 season, Brisebois got his first look in the NHL, as he went scoreless in eight games for the Canucks. He also notched three goals and eight assists for 11 points in 49 games with Utica.
Over the next three season, from 2019-20 through 2021-22, Brisebois played almost exclusively at the AHL level, appearing in just two NHL games over that time.
In the 2022-23 season, he got a stretch of 17 games up with the Canucks and notched a goal and two assists for three points. His only time in the NHL since then was a scoreless three-game stint in the 2024-25 season.
Brisebois was a member of Abbotsford’s 2025 Calder Cup championship team, when he had two goals and an assist for three points in Abbotsford’s 24 playoff games.
