Golden Knights' Brayden McNabb: Delivers assist in Saturday's win
Rotowire

Golden Knights' Brayden McNabb: Secures three-year deal
Rotowire
McNabb agreed to terms on a three-year, $10.95 million contract extension with Vegas on Friday.
McNabb is one of three remaining "Golden Misfits" from the Knights' inaugural season alongside Shea Theodore and William Karlsson. Offensively, the 33-year-old McNabb has been limited to open the campaign with just two points in 16 outings. Considering he's reached the 20-point mark in only one of his last 10 seasons, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting him to suddenly start racking up points. Still, McNabb offers decent category coverage in banger leagues, having racked up 200-plus hits in multiple seasons.

Rotowire
McNabb scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Lightning.

Golden Knights' Brayden McNabb: Chips in with pair of assists
Rotowire
McNabb logged two assists, two hits and two PIM in Saturday's 6-5 preseason loss to the Sharks.

Last year saw the defenseman record a career-best 26 points and 207 blocked shots while adding 148 hits and a plus-18 rating over 82 contests. The 33-year-old's physicality may continue to drop as he ages, and if he remains on the third pairing for most of 2024-25, he'll have a tough time getting back to the 20-point mark.
