Confirmed Signing with Link: [NSH] Fabbro to sign with Preds

[Djp]

Not pushing a narrative here, and fully understanding he's a kid with no experience, does he become a a replacement that fills in for a D man that Nash moves for a (presumable) F upgrade, or does Fabbro become a chip in a trade? Or does Nashville just stand pat and add him to the team and further the depth?

He should be exempt in ED. Nashville has 4 Dmen to protect so I see them moving one then Fabbro replace them.

good

hate that rule

You hate a rule that allows a person to dictate their life instead of becoming property for a team/city they have no interest in living/playing?

Why should NCAA players have more freedom of choice than those who choose other development leagues, like in .europe or the CHL? Although which NCAA players, that became UFAs, have really been difference makers? If a guy needs the full four years to develop, he’s going to be average at best.

yes, other players dont have that option and it is detrimental to teams drafting options that certain players can just decide to ignore the draft after a few years

Avs might have missed the boat on this one. Fabbro will need to be protected. I’m not a huge fan of this player so I don’t think it really matters.

he signed so Seattle can take him and he can be close to Vancouver

what about a prospect not signing then re-entering the draft then not signing with their new team?

They should consider giving college players an extra year to sign with the drafting team. Allows them to finish a degree if they want, which is never a bad thing.

I thought Tolvanen was the younger forward that all of Nashville has been waiting for?

Why not have more than 1? After tolvanen and pitlick our forwards prospect group is weak. Meanwhile 2/3 of the defense group is solidified and allard has looked good in the ahl and third pairing dmen aren’t terribly hard to find. So if fabbro can go into the 2nd pairing role in the next year or so we should look into trading either subban or Ellis for the best package we can get. I’d prefer forward and defensive prospects that would be expansion draft exempt and maybe a third pairing filler d to even out the contact caps some

I definitely do. It creates a double standard between development paths. A junior player doesn't have that option, European players don't have that option. In fact I don't like that a player from Europe can play in the AHL 2 years before a junior player can. I don't mind the idea of giving the college player the opportunity to finish their schooling before signing a pro contract, and I would support the idea of having a set number of "underage" spots on AHL rosters that could be used for Euros, college or junior players. As for the becoming property for team/city, in professional sports all players drafted have that issue, why should a college hockey player that chooses not to sign get an advantage over all other north American pro sports?

I do, unless they got their degree in Playing Professional Hockey in the NHL Studies. Then they're kinda screwed.

Every player has the option
There rights do eventually expire after x # of years, regardless of CHL/NCAA/Europe

F U Nashville and your good defensmen

 

[maplepred]

Any chance the preds just don’t play him at all this season?

Then he is exempt from Vegas expansion draft right?

 

[King Weber]

Now officially official;

 

[Leafs87]

Will he join them to close out the season and in the playoffs ?

Poile said earlier this week that he'll get a chance to play for sure.

Could be as soon as Friday in Pittsburgh or Saturday vs. Columbus.

Nice. happy he didn’t do the NCAA bs and go to UFA. I’ve always liked the Preds and Fabbro looked pretty good for team canada a few years back. For him it’s smart to sign now too and burn a year of ELC

 

[ViktorBaeArvidsson]

Really hope he develops with us, I knew why we had to trade Seth Jones cause that was when freaking Mike Ribeiro was our #1 center lol, but hopefully we can keep Fabbro for the long run. We are usually really good at developing defenseman. Glad Poile was able to keep him and Tolvanen (Even though Eeli has been a bit disappointing in the AHL, but honestly the whole Admirals team has been)
