Ysebaert had a lot of tools to be an offensive force in the NHL. He had exhibited that kind of promise in the AHL with Utica,
having won MVP and scoring title in 1989-90.
He did get to see a few games in New Jersey, but because of the depth of the team up front at the time, he was unable to stay
permanently. Bummer, too.
The trade to the Red Wings made him a permanent NHLer. It was also there that he had his best years, twice scoring 30+ goals
and 60+ points.
He wouldn't even come close to that again with Winnipeg, Chicago, and Tampa Bay. Part of that was recurring groin injuries
that limited the number of games played. While with the Lightning, though, he did serve for a time as their captain. (He was their
first one.)
During the 98-99 season, he would be relegated to playing for the I's Cleveland Lumberjacks, effectively ending his NHL
career. He finished his career for good the following season after playing in the Swiss League.
He does work for the Red Wings' Alumni Association currently.
