Tyler Brenner

Brenner is yet another of Brian Burke’s free agent finds. He’s a smooth-skating, offensive-minded player who has plied his trade at both forward and defense who was signed last March out of Rochester’s Institute of Technology. He’s a good all-round player but remember, there are reasons guys go undrafted over and over again. His best year in college by far was his last -- 26 goals and 15 assists for 41 points in 37 games. He’ll play in the AHL but he’ll need to impress quickly or he’ll end up as a career minor leaguer.
