Phoenix re-signs enforcer DeBrusk
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - The Phoenix Coyotes signed left wing Louie
DeBrusk to a one-year contract on Monday, Aug. 10, 1998, avoiding
an arbitration hearing. Terms of the restricted free agent's deal
were not revealed. DeBrusk, who had three points and 166 penalty
minutes in 54 games with Tampa Bay last season, was traded to
Phoenix in June along with a draft pick for Craig Janney.
DeBrusk, drafted by the New York Rangers in the fourth round of
the 1989 entry draft, was traded to Edmonton prior to the 1991-92
season. In six seasons with the Oilers, he had 19 goals, 12
assists and 797 penalty minutes.
