I like this trade, feels pretty low risk, worth taking a shot on a guy like Fabbri who was pretty highly regarded as a draft pick and in his first couple years. I liked DLR but I think he's replaceable. Do I wish they could have traded someone like Nielsen instead? Yes, but unfortunately that's not going to happen.
It feels a little disingenuous to act like he's just your standard 23 year old prospect who's been playing in the AHL for a few years waiting for his shot and not mention that he missed the entirety of last season. Can you really blame the Red Wings if they want to be a little cautious with him this year?
I think the only thing disingenuous is pretending the Wings are acting "cautious" with Svechnikov.
You want to ignore the fact that the Red Wings now have 4 newish 23 year old wingers playing ahead of Svechnikov - be my guest.
