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

[amosmoses]

I don’t like this at all for the Blues. I hope it’s a case of Fab asking for a trade to get a better chance of more playing time. I absolutely would not begrudge him that opportunity.

 

[Spektre]

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

It’s not the surgeries that’s affecting his game. He needs playing time and reassert himself as an offensive player. It seemed like he was trying too much to be a heavy player to possibly impress Berube. That’s just not who he is as a player.

 

[Ducks in a row]

Why would the Blues do this?

Injury problems and production suffering from it and with Blues trading him like this they show they have no confidence in things changing for him. That's how it looks to me.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Screw u DA.

Love Fabbri. Just needed more playing time. He's better than Sanford.

 

[Love]

DLR is 6’3’’ 216lbs so I guess that’s why the Blues wanted him. Berube can teach him the ways of the old “clutch and grab” I guess.

 

[TarasenkosForearm]

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.

I don't think Sanford will be long for the team either...not a lineup staple

 

[Stealth JD]

Meh trade of meh players...guess there is upside for Detroit in this move...but I expect Fabbri to be out of the league and onto Europe by ‘22.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Guessing this is Doug Armstrong doing Fabbri a solid.

I’m still a believer in him and his talent. I hope he does well in Detroit

While Fabbry still has stuff to show at the NHL level, De La Rose already showed that he cannot do anything offensively... his NHL career is probably done

Good luck to both though

De La Rose will ride pine here.

That's the second bad trade that St. Louis has made in a short period of time.

absolutely....well the Faulk trade wasnt bad....the extention was rediculous and nothing about his play justifies it.

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

we've watched him skate, and physically he's fine.




This was a throw away trade for the Blues. We have guys in SA that could fill in for Steen.

My favorite Fabbri moment:

 

[Blueston]

Blatant highway robbery by the Wings.

Have you seen Fabbri since his injuries?

 

[Blueston]

Haha DLR has no offense whatsoever. Good 2 way player but that's it. Robbery by Stevie Y

That is 2 ways better than Fabbri then.

 

[BleedBlue14]

Let me start by saying this is in no way a good trade for St Louis.

However, Fabbri really needs ice time and has been very underwhelming since returning from injury. Loved the way the kid plays he just can’t keep sitting multiple games before getting a chance. DLR really doesn’t do much. I’m assuming Fabbs asked for a trade sort of like Jaskin did and I hope this helps turn his career around and gets it back on track

 

[Captain Creampuff]

Very demoralizing. He was one of my favorite Blues players. Injuries derailed him from being a permanent staple in the Blues Top 6.

 

[SI90]

Wtf happened to Fabbri?

 

[Blueston]

Why would the Blues do this?

Fabbri isn’t good. Never got game back after injuries.

 

[deca guard]

delarose has been doing an excellent job this season for the redwings as a big bodied 4 line grinder , hustles and makes lots of smart plays . every wing fan has been impressed all season

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Seems a little strange from blues pov

 

[rumrokh]

Even if the Blues permanently benched Sanford, it looked like they weren't going to give Fabbri the opportunity to relearn what he's good at. And let me be clear: he really looks like he needs to relearn a lot. His confidence is shot and his sense for where everyone else is and the tempo of the game is nowhere near where it needs to be for an offensive player. It looks like he flies in the first shift and then, because he doesn't immediately create something, you can see him thinking and slowing down through the period and he never makes an impact again in the game.

I hope he gets it back and does well for the Wings, he's a really likable guy.

Seems like a poor value trade, but this could easily be one we laugh about as being meaningless mere months from now.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

For Detroit fans:
Fabbri’s knee isn’t the problem. He looks plenty fast enough and explosive enough as a skater to be an NHL player. But he seems to have lost his sense of how to play without the puck, especially when the opponent has it. And he’s created some exciting moments on offense, but can’t seem to cash in on scoring chances. Personally, I think his shot doesn’t look right. He’s lost his confidence there and it lacks the velocity it showed his rookie season.

Bottom line, I think it’s all mental. I think his knee is not remotely the issue. So there’s hope that with some regular ice time and a chance to play through the rust, maybe you’ve got something there. For the Blues, they have more promising prospects that passed him, and he just couldn’t earn his way past them. I bet Kyrou will be up shortly.

I’ll be rooting for Fabbri.

he might be the next ty rattie

Hopefully this is what Fabbri needs to get his career back on track. The kid showed so much potential before his injuries.
