A 4th is wayyyyyy more than I thought Alexander would pull in, so I assume Fabbri is one of those not-so-ideal contract additions?

 

[JAHV]

Ok. I'm down with this. Another lefty, but a decent middle-6 guy. He isn't going to give you much in the D-zone, but he can shoot.

Has he been playing on the LW mostly? Hockeyreference has him as a center, but he only takes like one faceoff per game.

He's overpaid at $4 million, but it's for one year. No one needs to worry about this contract for the Ducks. Heck, if Fabbri does well, he can be flipped with retention for a decent pick at the deadline.

Or he leads us to the playoffs. I'm good either way.

 

[TheStuntman]

Decent move. Gage is nothing special at this point and other goalie prospects are passing him by.

 

[SmokeyDuck]

I like the move. We had no room for Alexander.

 

[Unholy]

Had 18 goals last season and is just for 1 year. Sure

Paid to take fabbri, alleviate our goalie situation with the Russian kid coming over, and save a contract slot.

Not too familiar with fabbri nowadays. I know he was dynamic in the past, has he declined this much?

 

[robbieboy3686]

Dumo+ fabbri moves have been solid, especially when we see the prices and term teams gave out on day 1 of free agency!

 

[MMC]

This move also puts us over the cap floor

[Arthuros]

I think Alexander's just to make the contract slots work. Really this is just to take Fabbri off the books.

No 2nd round pick next year but 2 3rds, 2 4ths, and 2 5ths

He's had few ACL surgeries.

We're at cap floor.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Zegras will turn this man into the star he was supposed to become

 

[dracom]

we have so many goalies under contract atm so moving Gage makes sense. not entirely sure why we grabbed a LW, aren't we good there? fair deal, but definitely not getting a whole lot of value from teams looking to dump cap like people were expecting.

Allright we just traded for a player to be LTIR

The Anaheim goalie to Detroit trade has finally come to fruition.

 

[Leonardo87]

Verbeek wanted a Top 6 forward and a Top 4D so he settled for a Bottom 6 forward and bottom pairing D?

Maybe he’s still cooking

 

[Deuce22]

Fabbri smells like Verbeek's Sprong. Except he didn't give up a solid young D to indulge.

 

[ScarTroy]

Verbeek wanted a Top 6 forward and a Top 4D so he settled for a Bottom 6 forward and bottom pairing D?

To be fair he also said he wanted to bolster the bottom 6, which this does.

 

[Leonardo87]

Verbeek got paid to take him so really can’t complain. Let’s see how he does next season.

Basically replaced that 4th for Dumo.
