well he has faught all the good guys in the leagues he's been in. I don't recall too much though. Mirasty beat him pretty good in the winter.

He's def not affraid to get in there, but he tends to look away as as soon as he's in some sorta trouble. I think he gets tagged more then he lands.

But solid guy.

I believe Brennan just signed a 1 year deal last summer, so he would be a free agent that may not be back.

Great news for Wrecker. He is definitely not ready for the NHL yet, but give him a season or two in Bridgeport and with some hard work he will be good to go on the Island. Great signing by the Islanders. Bridgeport will be a fun place to watch hockey next season, thats for sure.

Im expecting the Isles to re-sign Brennan for the big team and Joel to take over in B-Port. The coaching staff was pretty high on Brennan for those last few games so it looks good for him.

Could not agree more. He was far and away the best fighter on the Rats (including Trevor Gillies) and he can actually play the game. Good for the Isles, bad for the Canes.

Excellent news. This kid is a badass for only being 20 years old.

This is a terrific signing by the Isles.

At such a young age, Rechlicz was already a pretty dominant fighter in his first AHL season this year, taking on all comers.

I just hope they actually call him up to the NHL at some point in the next 2 or 3 years.

No. Brennan will stay. i know it. I am looking in the crystal ball right now. Brennan and Rech are to be destined together. The cards of Tarot do not lie

Good for him. I've been following this guy since his days in the Q and he seems like a pretty tough kid. I thought the Canes were going to for sure pick him up though...hmmm strange.
