Hes good, could be a. Savvy move rather than pay zadorov big money.

 

[Rastin]

Bummed as a Sabres fan. I really like Jake. He is coming off a pretty major injury though, hopefully he's good to go.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

I like what the Hawks are doing if some of the particulars are healthy.

 

[ChiHawk21]

love it!

We Back?

 

[Drumman44]

Would he be a better fit with Jones or Murphy?

Probably Jones, McCabe could even cover the idiot Risto.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Really solid player

 

[EichHart]

Good player

 

[tsujimoto74]

Really solid player

Was last season. TBD if he'll be the same after tearing all the cartilage in one of his knees---that's a lot to rehab.

 

[MardyBum]

Glad we made two trades for dmen, everyone's already gone

 

[wintersej]

Nooo... was hoping for him in Boston

 

[Lays]

Solid pickup

 

[BFLO]

McCabe looked good in the small sample size of last season before his injury.

Over his career he'd have stretches of really strong play for maybe 1/3rd of the season and then turn back into a pumpkin the rest. We were hoping he finally turned the corner and could maintain his high level of play for a full season. Then he blew out his knee.

Best of luck to him in Chicago. He's a heart and soul kind of player and will be missed.

You're not kidding.

He is a great skater and puck handler, but would routinely lob grenades at his own blue-line that made Risto look like Brad Park. Hopefully, he's put it all together because if so, he has the potential to be a solid defenseman in this league.

[kerrabria]

I know he had a good year, but is he worth $4m with term?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

haha wtf!? Says the poster with a Canadiens jersey in his name, the team that drafted a kid who wanted to remove himself from the draft after taking pictures of a girl doing inappropriate things...

doesn't even come close to compare to what the Hawks did

 

[izzy]

Nice move, not happy as a blues fan to see Chicago making moves

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

If he rebounds from the knee injury he should look quite good in Chicago.

 

[Rafafouille]

4m per on a #4-5, oof. Rough.

[TheDoorDoctor]

Buff fans, any good insight? Any offense here or is he a pure stay at home?

Solid signing
