Nice

 

[Amadeus]

Good, young player who has been unlucky injury wise. Hope he can resurrect his career in Detroit.

What are the terms

How do new contracts work? Do they still count down throughout missed seasons and the players just don't get paid?

What are the terms

They pay him, and he plays for them.

Contracts run as normal.

Current situations will only affect escrow.

Don't jinx it.

same as always. As I understand it
If he gets a SB. He gets paid either way. If The season doesn’t start he doesn’t get paid. If it is shortened it’s pro rated.

Pretty obvious that the financial ramifications of the pandemic on player contracts have been overstated.

Bad news for any teams with RFAs this off-season IMO. Good contract for Fabbri and the Wings have cap space, but only 2 years at that price is kinda underwhelming.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Wow, great deal

Yeah, was hoping for more term but he’s still a relatively unknown and if Holland would have been around the contract would be one like Nielsen got

Don't jinx it.

Anything but a Stephen Weiss 2.0 incident

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

What exactly is the precedent that gets him 3M? That seems extremely high based on past contracts with better performance.

 

[Leafs87]

That seems like quite a high increase during the flat cap for a decent not even full season

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Great price, I’m surprised people thought he’d actually get lower

edit: didn’t realize he was a rfa

I always wonder how deals like this happen.

"My client will accept $3M a year for two years"

"Not a chance, we're not even in the same ballpark. Best we can do is $2.95M."

it's 2 years... that wont affect DET what so ever. After his 2 years if he can prove that he deserves better, he'll get it

Based on the contract discussion numbers that get leaked based on asking price and final offer, it seems that happens often

 

[belair]

I was way off on this one. I figured they'd ask him to prove he'd stay healthy, then give him this kind of deal.

That's a yikes from me.

Meh, two years is a short risk and we have more than enough cap space

No question. Detroit's in great shape cap wise. Kind of sets a bad precedent for future RFAs though. Fabbri didn't do much to earn a decent payday.
