Middle 6 two way kind of guy with a good shot or more of a passer?Big hitting big C who broke out offensively this season.
McVein!McBain was my porn name so this feels right to me
Good release on his shot, plays best in front of the net, skating is good enough, like to see him use his teammates more, deff a complimentary player, capable of driving the net effectively.
Wasn't blown away by any means at the Olympics and in my opinion that wasn't even close to a World Cup quality tournament. Think he will require seasoning in the AHL, though I hope I'm wrong.
Probably a better passer than a goalscorer. We are banking on McBain continuing in his progression. He really took a step forward this year. I like having some size at C. This team is getting an identity.Middle 6 two way kind of guy with a good shot or more of a passer?
Initially, this was my thought as well. A 2nd round draft pick is a high-price to pay for an unsigned free agent. I’m thinking that there had to have been some kind of “permission” by Minnesota that led to us being able to negotiate with him early. Bob’s tweet makes it seem like we have an inside track on this.Cool but couldn’t we have just signed him for free in a couple weeks?
Think this team is going to win a bidding war of 31 other nhl teams playing in a tiny arena and nothing firm for the long-term on a new arena/relocation?Cool but couldn’t we have just signed him for free in a couple weeks?
BA likes his players BIG.Probably a better passer than a goalscorer. We are banking on McBain continuing in his progression. He really took a step forward this year. I like having some size at C. This team is getting an identity.
The tweet says the trade is conditional on us actually signing him. I'm sure his agent has given us the thumbs up at this point and he'll have a contract in the morning around the time the trade is finalized.I’m thinking that there had to have been some kind of “permission” by Minnesota that led to us being able to negotiate with him early.

We wouldn’t be here if the player wasn’t willing to sign with AZ. A contract is coming.The tweet says the trade is conditional on us actually signing him. I'm sure his agent has given us the thumbs up at this point and he'll have a contract in the morning around the time the trade is finalized.
