History
Brennan has come out of nowhere. In 2005-06 he played for the relatively obscure Junior Elite Philadelphia Little Flyers after playing for years at the AA level. He was offered numerous lacrosse scholarships and could have played hockey at any number of those schools but chose to play hockey at the best level possible. His determination led him to a two-week tryout with the St.John's Fog Devils of the QMJHL where he made the team. His 41 points in 68 games won the Raymond-Legace Trophy as the QMJHL's Top Rookie Defenseman in the 2006-07 season. Brennan didn't start playing hockey until he was 10.
2007-08: Selected in the second round (31st overall) by Buffalo in 2007. Suiting up for St. John’s (QMJHL), Brennan racked up 92 penalty minutes in 65 appearances, and added 41 points in the process. He was named QMJHL Defensive Player of the Week for the week of Nov. 5 after recording five points in two games.
Talent Analysis
Brennan is a very good athlete with size, but is still developing in the technical aspects of the game. He was an accomplished high school lacrosse player, and did not focus solely on hockey until 2006. Based on his background, he is a fluid skater, but still needs to improve moving in the close quarters of the defensive zone. He brings a hard shot and ability to pinch in on offense, allowing him to contribute on the power play. His talent, physical style of play, and willingness to learn make him a well-rounded prospect with a good amount of upside.
