AriGold Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Vancouver Canucks @VanCanucks 3s3 seconds ago With the 66th overall pick, the #Canucks select Guillaume Brisebois. #Canucksdraft RANKINGS Ranked #48 by Hockeyprospect.comRanked #46 by ISS HockeyRanked #58 by Future ConsiderationsRanked #41 by NHL Central Scouting (NA Skaters)Ranked #48 by TSN/McKenzie - See more at: http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=213397#sthash.lZp21HdK.dpuf The Acadie-Bathurst Titan were abysmal this year. They ended dead last in the QMJHL standings and only won a mere 17 games. Be that as it may, a young defenseman by the name of Guillaume Brisebois has been one of the team’s few bright spots who grew leaps and bounds since last season. A standard two-way defenseman, Brisebois was urged by his coaches to carry the puck up the ice more often this season and join the rush. He has a fluid skating strides and strong legs that allow him to break out of the defensive zone with ease. Down the ice, he possesses excellent vision and pinpoint breakout passes to his teammates. Brisebois has a great slapshot and wristshot. The only issue is he seems timid to use it, which will have to be an aspect of his game he needs to work on further. Just looking at stats can be deceiving. This season Brisebois was a minus -40, but that’s a testament to how poorly the Titan were this year than it was about how bad Brisebois played in his own end. He’s responsible in the defensive zone and challenges opposing forwards as they enter the blueline. An effective pokechecker, the Quebec-native disrupts plays and cuts down passing lanes. He could stand to add some extra muscle and use his size to knock players off the puck, but Brisebois still has time. At this stage, he’s very raw in his hockey development and will likely stay in the QMJHL a full four years before developing further in the AHL. However, for my money, he’s still worth the gamble. Where Will He End Up In June: I think Brisebois ends up getting taken in the 3rd or 4th round. Scout’s Honor: “Above average skater who is quite agile and moves with a fair amount of ease around the ice. His good skating ability allows him to close down on attacking forwards quickly….Does not possess a big shot by any means, but will often make smart plays to get the puck on net. He will never be a guy that scores a significant amount of goals…Looks very comfortable on the puck and does a good job distributing the puck out of the defensive zone. He really excels at making the smart and safe play with the puck…Has good vision and often starts the breakout for his team. Very smart player in the defensive zone, closing down on forwards and uses the poke check well to knock players off the puck…Brisebois is not particularly physical and could stand to put on some extra pounds to potentially improve that area of his game.” David McKnight – Hockey Prospectus “Captain’s a weak Titan team and is good at both ends. Very thin, but still willing and able to use his frame to knock puck carriers. Maintains good gaps and plays solid despite the lack of depth around him. At this juncture is more a defense-first place but he may still round out his offensive game. “ Bill Placzek – DraftSite.com http://thehockeywriters.com/guillaume-brisebois-the-next-ones-nhl-2015-draft-prospect-profile/ Edited June 27, 2015 by AriGold 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Brisebois is a 6-2, 180lb defenceman. Had 28 points in 63 games last season. Was also captain of his team as a 17-year-old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 -40.... yes he was captain of his team... but -40 He was maybe a 5/6 on the U18 team. I try to support young players, and I hope he gets there but this to me is a failure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BananaMash Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I'm curious about his +/-. How was his team last year? It's a horrible stat but -40 is definitely interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOgRook Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Thank you for putting the work in op... Unlike some on this forum who don't realize it's not a race. This thread should stay for that reason IMO Welcome Guillaume! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 @TysonGiuriato: Brisebois is a 6-2, 180lb defenceman. Had 28 points in 63 games last season. Was also captain of his team as a 17-year-old. @NucksWatch: Brisebois was Captain of his QMJHL team at 17 years old & is a minute eater on the back-end. All around player, not flashy. #Canucks @passittobulis: Canucks select Guillaume Brisebois. McKeen’s had him listed as the 4th best defensive defenceman in the draft. @MoneyPuck_: Guillaume Brisebois to Van at 66. 11% PCS. Ranked well by some consensus experts, but not a PCS favorite at this spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
