The Vancouver Canucks have placed 28-year-old defenseman Guillaume Brisebois on waivers, potentially removing him from their NHL roster ahead of the upcoming trade deadline. Brisebois, a third-round draft pick by the Canucks in 2015, has played in 30 games across five seasons with the team, including 17 games in the 2022-23 season where he scored a goal and added two assists.
Why it matters
The Canucks' decision to waive Brisebois suggests they may be looking to free up a roster spot and salary cap space as they prepare to make moves ahead of the NHL trade deadline. This could be part of a larger strategy to reshape their roster and make a push for the playoffs.
The details
If Brisebois clears waivers, he will be assigned to the Canucks' AHL affiliate, the Abbotsford Canucks. Another NHL team could also claim him off waivers. Brisebois has spent the majority of his professional career in the AHL, where he has 48 games with two goals and three assists. He was part of Abbotsford's Calder Cup championship run last postseason.
