Confirmed with Link: Leafs sign T.J. Brennan [1 yr/$600K AAV]

[Chainshot]

This signing: At first I was like meh, then I remember this and I say welcome aboard

He shoots left though, does he play the right side?

He can, particularly on the PP when he's opened up for a big one-timer. He's still progressing -- confidence is a big thing for him at this level. When he's timid, he's not a strong defensive player and makes unforced turnovers. When he's not, he can contribute with the shot and he'll forearm guys off the puck.

Ex-2nd rounder selection by the Sabres. Low risk move.

 

[Neil Hamburger]

If we don't sign or trade for a top-4 d-man this summer, I'd hope we give Rielly a legitimate 9 game shot to make the team, instead of just using a stop-gap like this guy or Kostka.

He is only 24, so if he shows enough potential he will be something more than a stop-gap

These guys aren't even stopgaps. They're "I hope no one gets injured because we're going to have to play one of these guys"

Sadly, someone will get injured and this guy is going to come in.

 

[Communal Blood]

Has to be better than Costco. I like this signing.

Sad that this is his highlight video.

Sounds like a backup plan if they can't sign Fraser. #7 d

 

[Hyperglide]

Could be O'Byrnes, Costcos, Frasers replacement as 6/7th D? 9 points in 19 games last year. That's pretty damn good numbers too. Underrated low risk signing.

 

[p.l.f.]

Haven't seen him play at all
I'm guessing he's our #7 with that chinsy contract

I think its the back up plan for Franson.

 

[Ricky Bobby]

I like this signing.

At that term their is only upside. He's still young and defence can be taught well offensive ability can't so I think it's a great move that has no downside.

 

[sgupca]

This is a great signing, the kid has talent. He's young, big, mobile and has a hard shot.

If Randy works on his defensive game he could easily eat top 4 mins.

IMO this was one of the best signings on the day. He's cheap with no risk and only high reward. IMO he replaces JML in the lineup.

Caryle def loves his pet projects on defense, but best signing of the day? It might be the best low risk high reward scenario, but that's about it. Surprised that leafs picked him up over Blum. His price must be higher.

Brennan and Ennis are also the best interviewers in the business.

 

[LaPlante94]

Relax people. This is a good signing especially for that money.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

We got him for cheap and it's a project to see what he can offer? Fine by me.

 

[The Hockey Life]

Kid has a mean slapshot. Could be used on the 2nd PP.

 

[sangreale]

I swear to god, that if Nonis purchased a cappuccino five posters would be on here whining that he didn't buy a latte!

The Milk Bag thing from Dev Camp a few years ago was awesome.

"Can't give a good player a bad pass"

Yeah, but that's because cappuccinos take too long to drink, you need to consider the term of the beverage.

 

[crump]

Some highlights while with buffalo.

 

[Commander Clueless]

Don't get it. Don't need him other than marlies depth. Much rather Fraser and blacker over him.

I'm pretty sure he's for Marlies depth. I can't see Nonis actually thinking we need puck movers at the moment with Gardiner and Liles.


Brennan is intriguing but his lack of defense has me concerned. Should be an awesome player for the Marlies and maybe an injury callup or two.

The music, the voice.... where is kesselysnipes when you need him?
