Good stuff.

More depth for Abbotsford. Never a bad thing. Certainly a better option than Chatfield.

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

Cool. At least he's staying occupied!

I really don't understand what the big deal is. You don't just work on the most important things. Dickinson with his arbitration hearing is the most pressing negotiation and obviously Petey and Hughes are the most important. But negotiation progress isn't linear. There will be pockets of time where you're in a holding pattern. That's when you want to take care of some other business like Breezebois where you're literally just negotiating AAV ($700-750K) and AHL money. In comparison, Chatfield got $750K/$225K which would be as high of a raise BreezeBois can realistically seek.

Given last season's disaster I'm content with the work the Canucks put in this offseason. They have taken care of business the way they should.

 

[Cogburn]

Nifty. Our AHL team is fleshing out well, and I didn't mind Brisebois the last few seasons as a depth defender.

Yup. Very satisfied with the Canucks offseason, like the way both teams are shaping up.

Our season is saved!!!!

Pretty much sums up my thoughts. Good signing for Abbotsford.

Brisebois: "High 3rd rounder, which basically means a 2nd, which ultimately means essentially a 1st"

 

[sting101]

Send him to Montreal for Gianni Fairbrother. Both get to play close to home.

i dont know what would be funnier Benning saying Guiyome Breezbwah or Gyannie

 

[MS]

Fairbrother has value as a recent 3rd rounder. Brisebois has zero value as a 24 y/o AHLer needing waiver clearance.

yes but it's Bergevin he owes us for Toffoli and dare i say Zack Kassian

Canucks Re-Sign Guillaume Brisebois

where he fits in the organization can be summed up by canucks release describing him as 6' 2" 175 lbs?

either they can't be bothered to update his stats since the draft or something is wrong with his diet.

Maybe they should hire Drance for their Communications team.

 

[Hoglander]

A few weeks ago, I asked a friend (an oiler fan who had never seen this name before) to pronounce his name, and he said "Gilliam?" god damn it made me laugh

Obviously Benning had no idea who Brisebois was when he spoke of him. lol, what a putz

We had him ranked in the first round.

 

[VanJack]

Brisebois is by now a classic AHL-NHL 'tweener. Decent depth at the AHL level, but the Canucks d-corps would have to be a Mash unit before he'd ever play up top.

But I suppose the positive thing is that it wasn't too long ago that Brisebois was third or fourth on the Canucks prospect list. Now he's just a journeyman, but a guy who has proven to be decent at the AHL level.

I think he gets the benefit of the doubt every UFA season because Benning drafted him and signed him; and he was the third rounder who came back from the Pens in the original Sutter trade.

I thought he was the third rounder we got for Eddie Lack.

 

[Bitz and Bites]

I thought he was the third rounder we got for Eddie Lack.

I seem to recall that we also got a seventh rounder in that deal as well but maybe we’re both wrong.

He's not a tweener, at this point he's simply an AHL defenseman.

Can you show where/when he was ranked as a top 3/4 prospect for the Canucks? That seems unlikely.

And while I agree he likely gets a longer leash because of Benning, as others have mentioned he had nothing to do with the Sutter trade.

Yep. The Sutter-Bonino 3rd rounder was used to select Lockwood.
