News Article: Fabbro on waivers

Was this a response directly to you?

Yes.

"I am proud of what we have created from a media standpoint and the level of transparency and candor we share and show. I am hard pressed to name a team that does it more constantly and often than we do but in saying that know we can always be better. Individual player moves are always unique based on what move was made, when and why. Often the move is obvious, and sometimes it is not. Based on the level of inquisitiveness by the media or the expected level we gauge our information up and down.

Dante played for us right out of college, filled many roles on our D-core, and always did it well. Add to it that he played more than three hundred games for us, was incredible in supporting the community, his teammates and was one of my favorite people to have in SMASHVILLE and it makes the separation hard. Player transactions are the worst part of our jobs and are never easy regardless of how they appear from the outside. I am happy The Blue Jackets claimed him as I am fond of their organization and city and think it will be a good spot for him with a nice role on the ice!

From Bruno to Barry to me to all in our organization we wish him nothing but the best and hope he thrives with the Jackets. He will always be a big part of SMASHVILLE and our team, once a Pred always a Pred.

Again, thanks for your passion, support, observations, and critiques. The relationship we enjoy and the feedback we receive with and from the community and our fanbase allows us to always evolve how we do things" - Sean Henry

So he doesn't know either?

Yes.

Wonder how many times he's sent that or some version of that.

So he doesn't know either?

Exactly

There is an obvious incongruity in all this.

We didn't think Fabbro was worth putting on the ice. We also shopped him around and, according to the Jackets, were asking too high a price. They wouldn't bite.

So did we think Dante sucked or did we think he was a really good player with some value? And if the latter, we knew he was going to be snapped up off waivers and did it anyway.

From the Jackets side, they fleeced us. They figured Trotz was telegraphing he was going to move Fabbro one way or another, waited it out, and got him for nothing. Then they insert him directly into their top pairing, sorting out some of their defensive mess, and Dante goes on to play top pairing minutes with them in his first game. Something he never (rarely?) did under Brunette, even when nominally paired with Josi.

Do you mind sharing the question you posed to him?

I’m not going to push Predsident for tough answers. Sadly our alleged media won’t ask at all. “Transparency and candor” have a different meaning from the front office than what is defined in dictionaries.

"Mr. Henry,

The team would be wise to get in front of the Fabbro waiving ... have Trotz explain why a player who the team extended in March then played just 15 games before getting lost on the waiver wire for nothing was the course of action chosen. Silence on this type of move is a horrible move in the information space."

Damn, that's some grade A.. well, you know.
