Off Day Watch, 12/6: McNabb, Standing Rock, and Goalie Trade Value

Lost in all the furor over injuries to Jonathan Quick, Marian Gaborik, and Anze Kopitar: Brayden McNabb. He’s still working his way back from a broken collarbone. It’s a lot easier to estimate the contributions we miss from forwards and goalies as they’re injured. Gaborik and Kopitar probably would have contributed an extra ten goals in the season’s first two months if fully healthy, right? But for McNabb, who only had 14 points last year, missing the entire month of November doesn’t show itself on offense. Instead, you have to think of where his 20 minutes a game are going.
