The 22-year-old recently completed his first full NHL season, recording four goals and ten assists in 77 games while leading the Sabres with a plus-6 rating.
McCabe spent most of last season playing alongside Zach Bogosian, and is expected to be a top-four blue-liner for years to come. He was a second-round draft pick of the Sabres in 2012.
