History
2006-07: McNabb was acquired in the second round (37th overall) of the 2006 WHL Bantam Draft. He suited up for the final three games with Kootenay this season.
2007-08: This marked McNabb’s first full season with Kootenay (WHL). In 65 games he recorded 11 points (2g+9a), and added another assist in ten postseason contests.
2008-09: McNabb is showing signs of improvement this year, but still displays defensive-defenseman qualities. This season with the Kootenay Ice (WHL), he managed to rack up 36 points (10g+26a) in 67 games this season. He had 140 penalty minutes. Registered five assists in four playoff games. McNabb also appeared in the 2009 CHL Top Prospects Game, picking up an assist and going +3 for the victorious Team Orr squad. Was also part of Team Canada for the U18 world championshps.
Talent Analysis
NHL-sized already, the two-way blueliner got better and better for Kootenay as the year went on. The Ice used McNabb in all situations and at all times of the game because of his ability at both ends of the rink. Penalty minutes are potentially misleading as although he will fight, critics would like to see him play tougher in his all-around game. With maturity and increased confidence, that should come naturally in the near future.
McNabb is not the fastest or most agile skater and that part of his game will need to improve.
