Confirmed with Link: Fabbri 3 year Extension

[Rzombo4 prez]

I like the term for sure and the dollars won't hurt us. I never really considered him a core player but I have always had time for him because he has reasonably good skill and I think he can play with a lot of different types of players.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

UFA

I guess it's a good deal then.He is still young. Yzerman absolutely fleeced STL lol.

Gotta say, I'm surprised there isn't more vitriol in this thread. Or any at all.

I'm good with this. The contract isn't a steal, but it's fair, and you get a player with a [injuries aside] high floor. I like Fabbri's game a lot, he's very versatile, his skill allows him to play up and his industrious style with strong forechecking and backchecking allows him to play down. He's no Bertuzzi, but his value will go up if/when Bert gets moved.

With Fabbri sticking around for a few seasons we can hopefully see the gabagool line get together!

Nazem Kadri money. Comparable players.

Kadri about to get paid.Straight cash homie.

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

Pius O'Fabbertcino line.

 

[14ari13]

I don't like it. But not a big deal.

 

[AlwaysSunnyInDetroit]

Not bad. Was expecting 4x4.5.

 

[DetroitRed]

Wasn't sure what their plans were, but he might get 20 goals and 40 points this season, so...

Glad he's happy here anyway.

 

[kliq]

Im good with this. My guess was 3 years at 3.75 per year, so this is pretty damn close to what I was expecting. Age fits perfectly with our core.

 

[lomekian]

A fair price with team-friendly term for a player flexible enough to be useful regardless of how the team evolves in the short term. Can fill in anywhere in top 9, and contract will be tradeable barring injuries or falling off a cliff. Not exciting, but makes perfect sense for where we are at the moment.

 

[Henkka]

Great value.

Keep the asset.

Yzerman Long-term deal = 3 years.

Short-term = 1-year
Bridge = 2-year
Long-term = 3 years

Players are taking less, because of Florida tax....because of Steve Yzerman.

 

[BinCookin]

Nazem Kadri money. Comparable players.

Kadri is criminally underpaid. Also he signed in 2016.

I mean why don't we just complain that Larkin isn't MacKinnon because they make similar salary.

Was he going to be an RFA?

No UFA after his deal was up. Pretty sure that's why Yzerman locked him up now.

 

[WingedWheel1987]

I love that its only three years. Cap hit is good too.

 

[Gyldenlove]

You have to have a few of these contracts, but a lot of teams are bogged down with 4+ million dollar deals for middle 6 forwards. All in all, given his age and scoring it is not bad.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

It's exactly what i thought Fabs would get 3 x $4,000,000. I know Yzerman is high on him. So i'm not shocked he's been given another 3 more years. Wouldn't be shocked if Leddy is next he's definitely our 2nd best Dman after Seider.

 

[1878rgw]

Don't like it. Maybe the contract helps trading him while everybody knows his price tag for the next three years.
I really hate him when he is picking the puck in the own zone, skates to the o-zone, shoots without traffic or locking for teammates to create a play. The puck is always gone.

 

[Henkka]

22+22=44 point player in his last 82 games.

110 games at Red Wings since the trade, 32+31=63 points (0.57 points/g)

He is putting up Tatar-numbers when Tatar was at same age (0.56 ppg, same goal distribution)

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Relatively short term, AAV seems reasonable, and also without any NMC. Seems like a good deal.

What's Luca Brasi..............I mean Sbisa up to these days?

How about Rocco Grimaldi? He impressed me against Detroit that one game.
