During his time there, which saw them place dead last in 2015, he was called one of the team's few "bright spots". After three years, he requested a trade and was subsequently dealt during the 2016 QMJHL draft to the Charlottetown Islanders along with defenceman Jake Barter in exchange for Luc Deschenes, a second-round pick in 2017 and a first-round pick in 2018.

TheVancouver Canucks drafted Brisebois 66th overall after acquiring the pick from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for goaltender Eddie Lack. In December 2015 he signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Canucks.
