Hoo boy

 

[ShagDaddy]

Congratulations to Fabbro for getting released from purgatory.
Also congratulations to whatever team just got a top 4 defender for free.

How do Mase and Willy try to spin this as the greatest hockey decision ever? Find out at 7 CST.

 

[glenngineer]

This team is insufferable. WTAF are they thinking?

 

[Viqsi]

As I put it elsewhere...

As far as I'm concerned there are only two acceptable outcomes for this:
* He makes it to Milwaukee somehow, OR
* He ends up here in Columbus, because I'm a selfish bitch.

But really it should never have happened to begin with.

 

[herzausstein]

Sometimes i think this team is run but a bunch of people that just dont what to do. Team isnt performing?
Eff it waive someone
But who?
How about one of the guys we dont really play anyways?
Yeah thatll fix it

 

[PredsV82]

Bruno is a moron. Need to go ahead and let Tomasino find a good home too.

 

[Scoresberg]

We also need to think; why would they do this? It's not like we're flushed with defensemen as of right now.

Fabbro was making 2.5 mil, so could this be a move to make room for a trade?

 

[ShagDaddy]

if this move doesn’t result in an immediate follow up transaction to improve The roster, I think it’s fair to seriously start questioning the competency of the people running this organization.

If this were the case, why not just include Fabbro in the trade. I wouldn't think that he'd have negative value.

Hope the Sharks pick him up.

What in the actual f***?!

Maybe the team they are trading with don't have the extra 2.5 lying space lying around.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

I have less issue with this due to Fabbro's quality--I like him and think he can put in a shift but also has some clear gaps in his game--but more why go through the process of keeping him around, tying up $2.5M cap on him, etc...

The writing has been on the wall since the season after Hynes paired him with Josi all year.

It's just awful roster and asset management.

 

[Osprey]

Maybe the team they are trading with don't have the extra 2.5 lying space lying around.

Perhaps that's why he's risking it. If teams don't have space to trade for him, then they don't have space to claim him. Still, it's a huge gamble because some other team that does have room could claim him just to flip him to a team that wants him once they make room.

I can only imagine that Trotz is risking it to send a message to the team to play the way that the coach expects, but if it doesn't work, then it's just bad asset management, like with Tolvanen.

 

[BigFatCat999]

If Chicago claims him this board will flip it shit

 

[Legionnaire11]

Unbelievable if it's no followed up by a legit acquisition.

I know I'm not an NHL coach or GM, but I'm not sure what they see when they watch Fabbro that I don't. Hopefully if he's claimed, the next team is a better fit.

 

[Top 6 Spaling]

Tolvanen 2.0. Absolutely no reason to be waiving this guy when Lauzon, Schenn, and Carrier are on the roster, not to mention about 6 forwards who are replacement-level.

 

[LeighDx59]

He's not making it through. Im hoping Detroit picks him up but I doubt they even get the chance. I cant wrap my head around the fact that the only defenseman on the team who can play alongside Josi is waived, while guys like Schenn and Lauzon continue on.

 

[BigFatCat999]

there are currently 10 teams that have the cap space for him Detroit almost is one of them

 

[Teekko]

This is so dumb.

 

[Mass]

The jokes write themselves this year. Carrier pinches too deep and overskates the puck leading to a 2 on 1? Lauzon goes for a hit that leaves him wildly out position? Tomasino merely chooses to exist on the roster? "Dante, we're gonna need a deep dive on your poor choices by next game-day so you can reflect on what you've done. By the way, pack your bags, there's definitely 6 defenders on this roster that are better."

Ridiculous hyperbole aside, the only answer I would accept for Fabbro getting basically no ice time would be an absurdly crappy attitude or some sort of off the ice issues. I figure the FO would have already done something though if that was the case.

The difference between being shit and not shit for the Hawks is more than a team full of Fabbros would change, so who cares if that's where he goes. It's just stupid asset management.

 

[glenngineer]

I'd love to see him land in Edmonton.
