And that's how he plays in between the pipes.
"He's a very technical goalie, so smooth," explains Lamb. "He makes everything look so easy."
Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald had not seen Brennan play live after selecting him on Friday but was clear about one fact:
"We got the top goalie on our list," said Fitzgerald.
That's not to say that arriving in Montreal and officially becoming a Devils prospect didn't have some twists and turns for Brennan. The Cougars have the best depth of any club in the 60-team Canadian Hockey League. Brennan was one of three goaltenders that are now part of NHL organizations.
Until January, Brennan was playing behind Taylor Gauthier in Prince George. Gauthier was a 21-year-old overage - Canadian junior teams are each allowed three 21-year-olds - who was undrafted but earned a free agent contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins in March.
Brennan was Gauthier's backup until the latter was dealt to the Portland Winterhawks, handing the starter's job to Brennan, who flourished in the expanded role.
"I probably talked to everyone (in the NHL) about him," explained Lamb, "they'd ask about Ty, then that would lead to them asking about our other goalie."
Other goalie? That's Ty Young (seriously, another goalie named Ty), who was also drafted on Friday, by the Calgary Flames, in the fifth round - 42 picks after Brennan.
Taylor, Tyler and Ty, all fighting for time in the same crease.
"It's interesting," conceded Lamb, of the goaltender competition on his team, "but right now we are just enjoying the day (of having both drafted)."
Coached by Lamb, a long-time pro, the Cougars are owned by two other retired NHLers, Eric Brewer and Dan Hamhuis, who both played for Prince George as juniors. The club is expected to be vastly improved next year. They were one of the youngest teams in the 22-club Western Hockey League last season, inexperience that was exacerbated as Canadian junior clubs struggled to shake off the pandemic malaise that hampered so much of the previous two seasons.
Brennan acknowledged the difficulty of not always playing in compromised seasons brought on by COVID but said he's in a good spot now.
"It was good to get those games in as a starter," he said of his expanded role post-Christmas. "I've learned how to stay calm in the crease and not get too scrambly…I think I want to work on maybe moving further out, take up more of the net and get out of my comfort zone a bit (to improve).
"But for sure, my strength is my size and technique."
Brennan is expected at Devils development camp next month. He'll then report to Hockey Canada's summer evaluation camp that will decide which players will represent their country at the rescheduled 2022 World Junior in Edmonton in August. Devils prospect Chase Stillman will also be there.
Luke Hughes and likely a few other Devils prospects are expected to have leading roles for their countries. Could they face Canada with Brennan in the crease?
Lamb thinks they will, either in August or December, perhaps both.
"He's got a great (opportunity), and then again (in December), we'll have to see," explained Lamb, of the two World Junior tournaments taking place in Canada four months apart this year when the 2023 World Junior goes in Halifax and Moncton.
For his part, Brennan, in his own understated way, of course, is looking forward to whatever comes his way this summer; it should also include the main Devils training camp in September.
"It's a little early right now but in Prince George we are going to be a year older and more experienced," he said, "so I think we should be able to put together a nice run next season."
