Undrafted rookie defenseman Mathieu Brisebois(25) undergoes an address change in his first pro season.
He was traded from Phoenix Coyotes‘ prospect system on reassignment to affiliate Portland Pirates to Chicago Blackhawks‘ farm club Rockford IceHogs.
The somewhat undersized 5’11” 190 lbs. blue liner played in 28 AHL games picking up a goal and three assists with a -5 on a cellar dwelling team but was also a healthy scratch on more than a few occasions.
In his fourth year of QMJHL with Rouyn-Noranda Huskies he led the league in goals, assists and points by a d-man and continued on a similar tear in the playoffs.
The 21-year old signed a three-year entry level deal that keeps him under contract through 2015/2016.
It will be interesting to see if he can parlay his junior hockey finish into producing on the score sheet at the next level.
