Brisson signed a one-year, two-way contract with Toronto on Friday.
Brisson played in just three regular-season games for the Rangers last year, producing one assist, two shots and one hit while averaging 10:35 of ice time per game. Given the Leafs' forward depth, the 24-year-old center could be a fourth-line option at best, though he is more likely to play the bulk of his minutes in the minors.
