If he is an NHL caliber D man, which most Nashville fans are adamant he is, then he is an improvement over 3 of the 6 players we ice on a nightly basis

Rutta has looked better when not paired with Ferraro. That pairing was a foolish nightmare from the moment it was conceived. So I'm trying to consider that when I think of my feelings about Rutta.
Of course, I'd still rather have Fabbro than him, but I'd rather have Thompson in there than either. And Ceci and Lily are going nowhere for a while as long as they stay healthy. So with that in mind, it is sort of hard to figure out where Fabbro fits in (since it's not like Rutta is desired enough to be traded for with no salary retention at this point in the season).

Coaches make bad decisions too, Jack Thompson is better than Thrun, Benning and Rutta and he needed a trade and an injury to see ice time

Thompson is a big reason why I wouldn’t bring in Fabbro. He’d just get in Thompson’s way without being any better.

Seriously, we absolutely had room
Walman-Ceci
Thompson-Fabbro
Ferraro-Liljegren
That has a chance to be much better than any lineup of 6 we've played all year

That 2nd pairing gets throttled with Thompson playing on his off-side and Fabbro isn’t a top four guy so what’s being gained here? It’s not any better than what they’ve been doing.

As much as I would have loved to get Fabbro (on the paper), I think MG respects his players beyond their performance. He wants to find a trade that fits the player too before doing any moves, at least I've got this feeling since there is not a ton of waiver movement from our side. Getting Fabbro would have forced someone down probably. I like that MG is being a good relationship GM, it will help him build a lasting connections in the future. But there is always but, I hope he is more aggressive once there is a window for competion.

Size doesn't matter much if you can't move the puck out of the zone.

Yeah, because Rutta is a real bully out there.

As opposed to what? The Titans we're icing now? lol
As opposed to what? The 2nd pair were icing now? lol
Ferraro and Liljegren need time as a pairing. I don’t think Fabbro would do anything but push Thompson out.
Sure, Charmin is soft, but it's also thicker, and more absorbent than most toilet papers, which equates to toughness. It's also great a clogging up the toilet's "neutral zone." So I'm going to take that Charmin reference as a vote in favor of the now not possible Sharks' D.

Charmin is only soft on a superficial level. It's not the dollar store, gritty sandpaper that claims to be tough but falls apart when you buy it.

Having just seen a weird frustrating game without Smith, I have a sneaking feeling that Celly will be on development tomorrow and Smith will slot into his line.

Lastly, I won't speculate on Walman's health, but I'd like to see him back on PP1 when healthy. Feel his trigger is a bit more dangerous and Lily just feels a little less reliable with his decisions/not yet on the same page, even though he's gotten a few dangerous shots through.

That’s the kind of toilet paper I won’t claim on waivers.

Provorov is a lefty. Also contract expires at the end of the year. Not sure why Ceulemans is on this list as he’s 21 and in the AHL.
