I would be. Evason will care more about the standings than a potential small bump in a trade return

I don't know if Evason will want to disrupt too much by taking Fabbro off the top pairing, which has been phenomenal. I agree on that. But FWIW Werenski-Provorov got the exact same G and xG results. Provorov-Fabbro also looked very good in a few games together, which might be a go to if we see Werenski-Severson as the top pairing.

I know, but we've seen Evason be stubborn with stuff like this. I'd be shocked to see Fabbro taken away from Z unless something really forces it.

Seriously, show of hands for anybody that ISN’T that impressed with Fabbro….

Thinking he has a positive impact on Werenski playing the way he has, or producing points in the way he has, is ridiculous, IMO. Werenski has looked the same with everyone, Severson included. If anything, Fabbro is holding him back. Fabbro is closer to Jake Christiansen, than he is a “top pairing defenseman”.

Nylander 2.0. On waivers for a reason.

Another way to look at that - Fabbro hasn't stopped his D partner from playing at NHL MVP level over the last month. That's a good thing, right? And for a guy who doesn't need a huge contract, that's a very good thing, right?

Fabbro is ideal as a support player if the coach can use him.

It may be that Christiansen is helping Severson. They have good chemistry.

There's a difference being top pairing defenseman and being able to play in top pair. I'm just hoping that Fabbro and his agent understand that.

Ideally, players who are viewed as replaceable (even in theory) should only get offered contracts that keeps them easily tradable.

If they don't understand or agree with that, Waddell should move him.

Would you pay Rantanen 14M+?

No, we're going to be fine on elite wingers. Not worth the risk.

I for one am amused as all hell about how your starting your next crusade of "Fabbro Is Actually Terrible" (so as to justify the holy quest of The Return Of Seth Jones) is forcing you to finally, begrudgingly acknowledge Werenski as a high quality defenseman.

Bring Back Blankenburg!

Chinakhov going from day-to-day to being out for months is ridiculous. It sucks but the Jackets have to move on from him because he can’t stay healthy.

Especially when nobody knows what it is. I swear Portzline said recently all he knows is that it is NOT a concussion which makes it even more confusing.
