Confirmed Trade: [DET/STL] Robby Fabbri for Jacob de la Rose

[Bouboumaster]

Good job Detroit lol

Why would the Blues do this?

 

[Mike Liut]

Blues and making room for Kyrou and Kostin. They’ll be up soon especially if Steen is out long term.

 

[Oberyn]

Good trade by the Wings, best of luck to Fabbri. I'll be over watching Sanford try to get the puck out of the zone for the 4th time to no avail.

No this isn't making room for them seeing as how we're taking a roster player back.

 

[Mike Liut]

Berube doesn’t like Fabbri. Too small and too weak on the puck.

He could probably clear waivers.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

I strongly suspect Fabbri asked for a trade. He really needs some ice time. The best thing for his career would be to play lots of minutes in the AHL and regain some form. There was just no way for him to do that in St Louis, and they couldn’t send him down without losing him on waivers.

Good luck to him. I know nothing about De La Rose. I guess he’s a guy who can provide a bit of depth and be the designated healthy scratch. Although with Steen going down for what looks like a while, maybe there is an opportunity there.

Yzerman is following the Stan Bowman model in acquiring former 1st round picks (with talent) ey...

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

good luck Fabbs

 

[Bounces R Way]

Got to think this is Armstrong giving Fabbri a chance to shine somewhere else ala Josh Leivo last year. Shrewd move for Stevie Y.

 

[Celtic Note]

Berube doesn’t like Fabbri. Too small and too weak on the puck.

Sand Ford is weak on the puck, so it’s just size that matters. And size that doesn’t get used to boot.

 

[Blanick]

This is a bad deal. Why Army?

I hope to God this isn't the reason for this trade.

If so, that would be one of the most knee-jerk reactions to a situation I've seen. It also wouldn't make any sense considering that the Blues are getting a roster player back and that Fabbri would have been a better option to replace Steen's minutes.

I think you guys are seriously overrating the chances that Fabbri can come back from his injuries and become an effective player.

 

[TarasenkosForearm]

He needed a fresh start after coming off of 2 major injuries. He more than likely wanted more playing time and the Blues need to make room for Kyrou. Fabbri just didn't have a spot or the time to let him work his way back in and they weren't going to send him to SA.

His lateral movement isn’t as good but he is still fast. He just needs playing time, which for some reason he won’t get with the Blues.

That's really the only scenario that makes sense. Best of luck to Fabbri.

Could be, but I would have liked to take that chance over hoping the same for Del la Rose or watching Sanford night in and night out.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

Why would the Blues do this?

I think this is one of those trades a team makes just as a courtesy to a player, rather than harming his career in a situation where he can’t get on the ice. He’s shown flashes after his knee surgeries, but without a regular role he just can’t show anything.

I came here to post the same sentiment.

Oh no, there is a spot for him. It's occupied by Zach Sanford, who for some reason is immune to being benched for terrible play. Fabbri has outplayed the crap out of him this year, so why Sanford continues to play is beyond me.

 

[TheGoldenGod]

FYI Detroit fans - Fabs skating has looked really good this year. Probably didn't fit the best within the Blues system but he really didn't get much of an opportunity after coming back and needed a fresh start. He's not the best defensively but I think he still has a lot of upside offensively and has been pretty snakebitten when in the lineup for us. I like him in your system and that group. This could end up being a steal for you guys. Great deal for you guys. Good luck Fabs.

 

[TarasenkosForearm]

Fabbri really needs playing time. Detroit is not a good team right now, so he will get it. Log jam in St.Louis.
