BRAYDEN MCNABB RUMORS
McNabb motivated to make Sabres' season-opening roster
Brayden McNabb departed Buffalo at the end of last season feeling great about his game. The first-year pro played 25 games with the Sabres during several call-ups, and he was a regular on the blue line when the team finished the year. When he comes back to training camp, though, McNabb will likely be back to square one despite taking numerous steps during his rookie season. The...

Defenseman Brayden McNabb is player that Sabres fans became familiar with quite fast last season.
After a strong start in AHL Rochester, McNabb earned himself a call-up in December when the injury bug began to hit the team.
His 25 game stretch in the NHL earned him the respect and admiration of the Sabres faithful for his big hitting and...
GARTH: McNabb Returned To Rochester
Now that Tyler Myers has served his time, Reggie Sekera is back to 100% good health, and Alexander Sulzer is the surprise of the season, Brayden McNabb becomes the odd D man out.
Myers will return from his three game suspension on Wednesday night vs. Montreal.
Sabres rookie D McNabb demoted to AHL Rochester
The Buffalo Sabres have demoted defenseman Brayden McNabb to AHL Rochester, where the rookie will have the benefit of getting more playing time after missing eight games with a concussion.
Coach Lindy Ruff announced the move Thursday, saying McNabb has been cleared to play.
Ruff says McNabb was sent down to allow him to get additional ice time. That's unlikely to happen in...

GARTH: McNasty Boxing Day
If Buffalo, NY had its own official paper currency, its a lead pipe cinch that the faces of Brayden McNabb and Zack Kassian would appear on it. McNabb has become a true blue and gold folk hero in Buffalo this season. Ditto Kassian. Two young bucks, with blue collar DNA coarsing through their veins, busting their asses, imposing their iron wills to make the Sabres a winning team. More on Kassian...
Big first period carries Sabres
Brayden McNabb capped Buffalo's four-goal first period with his first NHL goal Monday night, and the Buffalo Sabres cruised to a 4-2 win over the Washington Capitals.

Sabres Game Story: Are the Kids Alright?
I'm sitting in the Buffalo Sabres press box right now, watching the workers put boards over the ice down below and reflecting about tonight's game. Pretty surreal for a guy who's been a Sabres fan since he was 13 and also writer who lost his blogging mojo about a year ago before joining this site. But this isn't about me. It's about the Sabres vs Leaf game and...

Mike Weber will play. Brayden McNabb will play.
Marc Andre Gragnani appears to be the odd man out.
Lindy Ruff told Howard Simon this morning that it matters not the age of a player. He's handed out playing time based on one criteria:
Does the player have the ability to help the team...
McNabb Becoming A Man Among Men, Plus Some Quick Hits
Buffalo, NY - Brayden McNabb is quickly becoming one of Buffalo’s better playing defensemen, and if it keeps up he may just earn himself a full-time roster spot when the team eventually returns to full health.
“I really think he’s getting better every game,” head coach Lindy Ruff said after Friday’s 2-1 win over the Florida Panthers.
McNabb has not put up any numbers on...
