Speculation: 2025 Trade/Free Agency Thread

[MCB]

I started off the year loving fabbris play, but as of late it's become frustrating. But even when I liked him I still wanted him traded as the deadline. Trade dumo and fabbri, see if any good offers come along but I don't expect much

Fabbri is whatever.... i dont mind him.... but i dont need him on the roster post deadline.

i feel like you can find someone like him in waivers/small trade asset.

Yeah I don't get the Fabbri hate. He's a bottom 6 NHLer and that's where he's playing.

a 4th line featuring a healthy McGinn and Fabbri seems like a huge asset but those guys are never healthy and we'd need major upgrades at every third line spot to make it work.

A 4th line of McGinn-Gaucher-Fabbri sounds genuinely interesting but like you said, we would see them healthy together for maybe 13 games of the season

I just don't see how they can justify keeping Fabbri. Doesn't stay healthy, doesn't produce enough offense, and is very poor defensively. He hasn't earned a top 9 role and his game isn't suited for the 4th line. He just doesn't fit.

Imo we need at least 2 4th liners. I'm okay keeping Lundy though I wouldn't mind an upgrade either. I think at least 2 of those guys needs to have better than average PK chops.

Idk that lundy really does enough for me... Hes not really physical at all, doesnt really do well in the dot, doesnt really score much.

He kills penalties.

I think Gaucher will pass him up quickly... still hoping the Islanders become sellers at deadline/draft and we can get JGP as a 3rd/4th line center option... hes overpaid but we have cap space to take him on.

I can't but wonder if the repeated knee injuries are weighing him down mentally as much as physically. It would be hard to just focus on playing hockey knowing you are a little tweak away from another major op. This year alone we've seen him play much better than he is right now. I have a lot of respect for the guy, always has had heart, hopefully can rebound again.
