The New York Rangers acquired young forward Brendan Brisson in a trade with the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday. The 23-year-old has some rather unique ties to Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby.
Brisson's father is big-time agent Pat Brisson, who represents Crosby, as well as some other top NHL talent including Nathan MacKinnon, Patrick Kane and Anze Kopitar, among others. During the early part of Crosby's career, he would spend some summers at the Brisson family home and occasionally help out by babysitting Brendan and his siblings.
