Let The Signings Begin [6:13 AM]
Jamestown Post Journal reports: 'Players are still available for the Sabres to add, who would absolutely make their team better and Darcy Regier has shown that he has patience to wait for asking prices to come down later in the summer. Look for Buffalo to add a forward or two in the coming days, just don't expect it to be Martin Havlat or Alexei Kovalev. It will more likely be somebody like Blake Battaglia, Boyd Devereaux or fan favorite Mike Grier.'

Kootenay News Advertiser reports: 'During the NHL scouting combine in late May where prospects were put through a battery of physical tests, interviewed by prospective teams and then tested some more McNabb sat through 21 interviews by NHL clubs, including the Sabres.

McNabb finished first among all prospects on the fatigue index with a score of 37.1, an indication of why the rangy d-man can log the minutes he does with the Ice. “Those were the two teams with the most interest, I thought,” said McNabb. “But it was really hard to tell with the interviews because they’re all the same.”'
