Brayden McNabb is now in his second full year with the Los Angeles Kings. After being acquired from the Sabres for Hudson Fasching and Nicolas Deslauriers, McNabb made his debut with the Kings on opening night last season.
Though initially acquired with an eye on the future, Brayden McNabb joined the Kings' present situation much faster than anticipated. McNabb took advantage of his early inclusion in the Kings' lineup and never relinquished his place on the roster.
McNabb's slight rise on this list from last year is mostly due to attrition, but he did a good job earning praise and playing time during his first full NHL season.
