ALLENTOWN, Pa. - The most accomplished defenseman in the Flyers' minor-league system is 28 years old, has spent eight years in the American Hockey League with five teams, grew up a half-hour drive from the Wells Fargo Center, and is one decent Ron Shelton script away from becoming the Crash Davis of hockey. Nobody mentions T.J. Brennan when discussing the Flyers' future and all those prospects in the organization's pipeline - Sam Morin, Travis Sanheim, Robert Hagg, Phil Myers - and it's hard to shake the thought that he might be consigned to that purgatory that a select few pro athletes know: great in the minors, not good enough to stick in the majors.
