Former Vegas Golden Knight and now New York Rangers prospect Brendan Brisson will be joining the New York Rangers organization full-time for the 2024-25 season. Though it'll be likely he'll find a home in Hartford, he'll have a list of goals to accomplish this season.![Brendan Brisson]()
The former first-round pick in 2020 is no stranger to the AHL, spending the majority of his career in the AHL with the Henderson Silver Knights.
For Brisson, the adjustment to the new team and the East Coast was foreign at first.
But he soon adapted to life in the Wolfpack.
«It was a little different,» Brisson said about the trade. «Just having been with the same organization for the last five years since I got drafted, midseason too, not like it was in the summer when you get a chance to adjust into camp, it was different.»
He'd contribute to the Wolfpack's success in the first sixteen games, scoring 6 points (2-4), and would soon sign an extension with the Rangers.
«It was great when I got here,» Brisson said. «The whole organization, the staff, the coaches, the players, they welcomed me with open arms and really allowed me to try to get my confidence back. It was a tough year for me, and they were great in that way.»
With a short stint in the Wolfpack, he believes he can be a difference maker, and will be aiming for a spot on the regular season roster after training camp.
A lofty goal, but it might be achievable given how the team is in the turmoil of a retooling at the moment.
«Same as everyone, I want to make the team (Rangers) out of camp,» Brisson said of his goals. «I know I can do it, I've made an NHL roster before out of camp in Vegas, so just make it to camp and stick. I know what's going to keep me in the league.
«I learned a lot from last year, and I want to use everything I learned over the summer and into camp. If I do that, I think I'll be good

The doors are wide open for prospects to make the team, should they impress the front office enough.
