Confirmed Signing with Link: [DET] Robby Fabbri signs extension with Red Wings (3 years, $4M AAV)

[WingsMJN2965]

Gonna be honest, I really don't see a long-term place for Fabbri in Detroit.

... But the people acting like 3 years $4M is a disaster, or even bad, for a half PPG player is hilarious.

 

[Tryblot]

Good for him. Happy he was able to continue his career after the injuries he went through in st Louis.

 

[Dotter]

For a guy that never had a 40 points season in 6 NHL seasons, I would say that it’s not a bargain either to say the least.

Is there anything about his hockey skills that make you think he will never hit 40 points during a normal NHL season?

He's been a good addition to the team since getting traded.

 

[Ishad]

It’s not a bad contract, I just wish we had a better player to take his spot

 

[CoopersFalls]

EASILY prefer Toffoli at 4.5.

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

I think the term is spot on. Maybe like 250-500k more AAV than I expected, but that's a non-issue for Detroit. 4m is not a lot of cap these days.

Cool?

I never say he never will, I said he never has.

My point is that the deal is not a steal or anything, it's an okay contract for a 3rd liner who averages around 0.5PPG career wise at 25 years old.

Since August. 2020, 9 players have signed a contract in the 3.75M$-4.25M$ range.

Hoffman: Proven 25 goal scorer, Career 0.717PPG
Granlund: Career 0.65PPG
Stasty: Career 0.7519PPG, he did slowed down the last few years thought.
Toffoli: Proven he can score 30 goals, Career 0.598PPG
Verhaeghe: Career 0.5819 PPG
Foligno: Career 0.504PPG
Jenner: Career 0.464PPG
Beauvillier: Career 0.457PPG, 21 goal career high
Lafallo: Career 0.4772PPG
Fabbri is a career 0.4963PPG 18 goals career high.

You can say that his production is around what you would expect from a 4M$ forward, but it's nothing special here. Plus you aren't really paying for potential at the age of 25, the player is what he is.

Thus like I said, the contract is far from being a bargain. It's ok, but it's not a like Red Wings have signed him at a steal of a deal. Overpaid might have been a strong term thought, I'll give you that.

*Searches thread for who called this a steal*

Nope. Nothing.

Good, so we agree this isn't a steal contract or even a good contract. It's nothing special for the production that Fabbri brings to the table.

Thank you for setting everyone straight. We would be lost without your input on the matter.

 

[BonMorrison]

EASILY prefer Toffoli at 4.5.

ok

 

[deca guard]

fabs is a solid set up man more than anything and since in detroit he hasnt played with any forwards or dmen that can finish .
so his numbers dont impress but hes been a valuable player all 200' thats always hustling and playing a smart two way game

 

[Scorvat]

Jimbo and Tanner Pearson doing their duty and raising the salary of young middle sixers!!

Havent really watched the player in years but his production over the last 3 has been solid

 

[SwivelSchwartz]

Good for him. Knew he’d succeed, and wish him nothing but the best

 

[Ice Mammoth]

Maybe Yzerman drank too much yesterday?
Could this deal be the result of a hangover?
It was already Jul. 16, 2021.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Detroit won’t be a cap team for a while, term is really all that matters and it’s nice to have a useful player to them a bit longer as they build.

 

[Freudian]

Everyone betting on everyone?

 

[BleedBlue14]

Happy for Fabbri. Was a little worried those injuries cut a very promising looking career short

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

EASILY prefer Toffoli at 4.5.

I prefer McDavid at 12.5 personally.

I prefer McDavid at 4.5. Seems like it would be a better deal to me.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Not a bad deal

 

[Pavels Dog]

So he's the first Red Wing to be signed for the 24-25 season. Didn't see that coming tbh.

Solid enough deal. He's 25, not 35, so there's actually room for him to improve and have his best years in front of him.

Fabbri is a career 0.4963PPG 18 goals career high.

Needs to be put into perspectice of having some injury derailed seasons and playing minimal minutes on the Blues.
For the Wings he's been a 0.57PPG player which is really, really solid given the state of the team during that timeframe.

He's a fairly reliable depth scorer. Needs to stay healthy.

 

[Wayne Primeau]

4 million in today's NHL is practically nothing, especially for a 25-year-old. 63 points in 110 games with the Red Wings. This is fine value.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

I prefer McDavid at 4.5. Seems like it would be a better deal to me.

He was worth way more under his ELC. Then he had to get all selfish on the team.
