The Griffins had just recently sent down defenseman Joel Chouinard, so Renouf will likely join the Griffins right away on an ATO contract since his entry-level deal will not kick in until next season. Renouf is spoke of as a lumbering defenseman who skates well and can lead the rush as a strong two-way player.
