The 29-year-old blueliner has been a bright spot in a crummy season for the Blackhawks. McCabe has two goals and 12 assists in 45 games this season with Chicago, which is struggling mightily this season.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New, for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NorthStarBet?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@NorthStarBet<\/a>: Rebooting CJ&#39;s Trade Deadline Big Board in the wake of the Bo Horvat deal. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/oC31GWBNxb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/oC31GWBNxb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/reporterchris\/status\/1620499102206406657?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">January 31, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Eau Claire, Wisc. native is only $4 million and signed through the 2024-25 season. He&#8217;s been great in 5-on-5 situations despite the Blackhawks struggling in other areas. McCabe has an even goal differential even though the rest of the team can&#8217;t stop letting in goals. His positive defensive play has made him attractive to other teams.<\/p>\n<h3>What a Jake McCabe Trade Could Mean<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/t\/toewsjo01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-02-01_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jonathan Toews<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/kanepa01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-02-01_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Patrick Kane<\/a> may be <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2022\/11\/25\/nhl-rumours-los-angeles-kings-could-land-chicago-blackhawks-star-forward\/\" target=\"_self\">getting all the trade attention<\/a> for the Blackhawks. However, McCabe could be a sneaky-good addition for a contending team. His cap hit is pretty affordable and the Blackhawks are looking to unload contracts in order to burn it down for a long rebuild.<\/p>\n<p>McCabe is going to be sought after by plenty of contenders who need defensive help. He doesn&#8217;t have a lot of offensive stats, but he will be a strong addition to any team. Davidson is all about stocking up on assets and McCabe is going to get a nice return if Davidson plays his cards right.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"MOeyP_h5Rw1xl6wGI1pZjQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1246577090\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'MOeyP_h5Rw1xl6wGI1pZjQ',sig:'qBKxhi2tZNikaf3dIbFvZgezmJTFdMqRILVW1wPAuFQ=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1246577090',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s time for some more NHL rumours for your Thursday.
