If we can get him healthy. I agree he has upside

I like Fairbrother and what he brings, but he has by far the worst plus minus on the team at -14. Dello is somehow the best at plus 21!

Fairbrother is barely 20 and is a first year player.
I watched him play almost every game he has played this season and +/- in his case hasn't reflected his play specifically but more of the 5 man unit.

I get he's 20. I've watched all his games too. Obviously he has things to work on, but I do like him. There's a lot of guys like him out there, so I'm not sure what his chances are. We'll see. The D prospects haven't been this crowded in a long time. It's just too bad there isn't a projected top pair guy yet.

I hope this kid seizes his opportunity because he is very young and showed some good things in the AHL last season.
I am not ready to write him off after 30 AHL games.

 

[Vachon23]

Most important thing for him will be like Mailloux to stay healthy. He gots tools that could make him an interesting 3rd pair guy

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

He hasn't played 20 uninterrupted games in a row since 2019 or something crazy like that. The guy needs a full injury free season in the worst way. He's quite good when he's on the ice and he's not all rusty or rehabbing something.

Fairbrother turns 22 today

 

[lillypad33]

Too bad... I read that he's out for the season already....
Hopefully he can come back stronger next season.

At this point in his development that's probably his NHL career. Sucks for him but he was already ranked 25th in our pool while healthy. Engstrom at least has already passed him on the depth chart and he was already ranked 7th amongst D.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Obviously unfortunate for him but there was no future here for him on our blueline.

Hopefully he can rehab and find his way in another organization.
