This is a good signing for the Blackhawks, as McCabe is a very reliable defensive defenseman. With that, he also is noted for playing strong physically. This is something that should make him a welcomed addition to the team.

This year was a hard one for him, though. He was limited to just 13 games because he injured his ACL, MCL and meniscus in his right knee. However, when he was playing, he was one of the rare bright spots on the Sabres. If he is able to bounce back well, he should be playing top-four minutes moving forward for the Blackhawks.
