Confirmed with Link: TJ Brennan traded to FLA for 5th round pick

[Zip15]

Not an NHL player. Bad in his own zone, and his shot--his only NHL skill--didn't translate to offense up here. Good riddance.

I cannot fathom why people are actually upset by this.

 

[Jame]

It's just a kick in th nuts that the 5th round is the pouch tha LA traded to Florida, the 5th they acquired from new jersey for loktionov

 

[Chainshot]

Good luck TJ. Probably the best thing in his time here was the whole "Milk Bag" thing with Tropp and Gerbe.

Seems Florida's gotten so desparate with their injuries that they were willing to take a kick at the can with Brennan. At least Dineen has some idea about his strengths and weaknesses -- I suspect he'll get shooter duty beside Campbell on the PP and that alone should net some positives for them. How he's going to hide him in his own zone... not sure.

I was a Brennan fan seeing him last year in Rochester, its tough to give up on a 23 year old defensemen but this was a move that had to be made. I just hope it doesn't come back to bite us in the ass.

 

[Dubi Doo]

I think he can become a decent NHL player. Not thrilled with a 5th round pick, but that's what I expected he'd return.

 

[HiddenInLight]

I don't understand this move at this point in time....a 5th rounder doesn't really help buffalo right now, and it puts us down to 6 dmen on the roster. Unless another trade is coming soon, this deal seems pointless.

I came to the last page of the thread to say this. Blows my mind that people are a) upset that he's gone and b) aren't ecstatic that we got at least something of value for a guy who's shown nothing to warrant a roster spot and would have been waived eventually anyway.

#FlaPanthers missing Jonathan Huberdeau because he is at a funeral in Halifax...New D T.J. Brennan not here either but apparently en route

Per Florida's play-by-play voice Steve Goldstein, assistant GM Mike Santos had "been on the trail, trying to get [Brennan] for about a year now" .. he is playing tonight for Florida and his 1st INT stats = even, 7:22 TOI, 3 SOG, 2 hits, 1 takeaway.

Wow, impressive period. Have a feeling this trade might hurt in the future

You were right, as Brennan was set up for two one-timers by Campbell on their first power play.

Until there is a whole sale change the song will remain the same. It appears that when players leave this org and its attitudes they play much freer and subsequently better.

This just isn't true. List players this is true for and for each there will be 3 it isn't true for

You jocking right? Brad Boyes I just one in a line of players.

 

[Woodhouse]

Update: Brennan scores crashing the net .. paired with Campbell to start third.

 

[Chainshot]

It makes sense to let the guy have a chance to play to his strengths. Campbell can set the table back there pretty well and handle the rush and entry. It's a great position for Brennan to be in.

lol...he had a grand total of 3 hits in 10 games with us !

and, he averaged 1.8 shots per game with 18 shots in 10gp.....

So I am assuming that this is his career game in his entire NHL career ? I mean he is way above his normal stats....

ps: he also scored a goal for florida tonight

Hit stats in Florida are notoriously inflated.

You are going too eat your words as the D is not trained to be agressive in buffalo as they play a passive D style. Maybe he is injoying himself and now he can play without DR eyes burning holes into the back of your head. Good on TJ.

<<<not to hijack the Brennan thread>>>

but Boyes scored tonight for the Isles...It was his 8th....He now has 8 goals 16 assists for 24 points in 28 gp....

 

[ZZamboni]

After the "shiny new toy" syndrome wears off, and the adrenaline dies down, Brennan will be #6/7 defenseman. Lets revisit TJ Brennan next March.

Or maybe just end up being the Mark Mancari of the NHL/AHL.

Who's on his line again? And then when someone mentions his NEXT goal, who's on his line again? And then when someone ....

This bugs me the most, I was a big fan of boyes when we got him and lindy gave him no chance

Brad Boyes is one, but his linemate is John Tavares too.

Try: Max Afinogenov, Chris Drury, Jay McKee, Mike Grier
