pi2000 Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 I liked McCabe, wish him well. Shame he got injured last season, he was playing the best hockey of his career. 6 Quote
sabrefanday1 Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 Great guy..lots of class and wants to win....another player gone that should have been re-signed. Good work KA. Boy this sucks... Quote
I-90 W Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 Chicago is making some moves this season 👀 Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 I wonder if he played more games or missed more with injury? Not sure which? He’s like a ghost. Good luck Jake Quote
triumph_communes Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 No surprise. He lives in Chicago his girl is from Chicago. It was always going to happen. Quote

sabrefanday1 Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 guess Chicago is going all-in again before Kane & Toews are finished...really good thinking. We need thinking like that instead of just giving away all we tanked for... 1 Quote
SDS Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 He hasn’t really played a full season since 2016 - 2017. Quote
dudacek Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 Everyone expected that. NIce contract considering how his season ended. Warrior who will be missed. Always enjoyed Jake. Can I at least keep Linus? Please? 2 Quote
Weave Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) Interesting comments by Jake on twitter. Sounded like he’s been angling to play for Chicago for some time. "I've been secretly hoping this was going to come to fruition for a long time. This place has been an adopted home for me the last five years." Edited July 28, 2021 by Weave 1 Quote
LabattBlue Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 I know he had some injury issues, but McCabe was a solid blueliner. Can’t blame anyone for wanting a change from the Sabres. 2 Quote
Hoss Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 As a long-time member of the Jake McCabe fan club I’m happy he found a more lucrative deal than many (myself included) expected for him. 4 Quote
JKB1646 Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 Like McCabes style of defense and wish we could have kept him but injuries and this cap hit are a bit much Quote

Cap hits are always at the forefront of today’s NHL and this was too much. 1 Quote
