I don't think the distinction actually matters because Zach Werenski.

boohoo, Pens "fans", BOOHOO
Interesting, shouldn't be too hard to get in the top half of that list.
A new series of summer polls (or maybe during this 4 Nation thing) idea could be choosing who the best of each number was. Some will be pretty obvious but most could lead to good discussion.

Well, the obvious way to do that would be a countdown to the start of next season. Assuming, of course, we can handle multiple polls at once...
Or run the prospect polls during gaps in the countdown polls...
I really hope Fabbro fits in well with Werenski and those two form our top pair for the foreseeable future.

I know. "In the best case" includes him doing well and re-signing.

I noticed that Fabbro had an assist last night and a goal this evening. How has he been performing for you all? I regret that we let him go for nothing more than cap space.
He's been fairly solid, getting better as he gets used to the team and system. I hate that they reconfigured all 3 pairs after his arrival and created chaos but that's not on him

And virtually every Preds fan on HF is nodding along, having anticipated an outcome very much like this. If the top pairing continues to play the way it has don't be surprised if HFPreds joins in on calling for Werenski for the Norris Trophy, since Josi was controversially denied it the last time he and Fabbro played together. (Yes, yes, Makar, but still.)
Eventually everyone will realize he's one of the best defensemen on the team. I take him over everyone except Werenksi.
Aaaarrgghh

Fabbro has paired nicely with Werenski - probably his best partner. He’s played responsible defense which compliments that pairing well.
I am likely in a minority here bit I don’t have the same confidence in him if paired with another DMan. His giveaway rate is atrocious - 30 already in his 15 game Columbus stint and just 2 takeaways. Despite those stats I’m happy the CBJ claimed him to pair with Z.
The awkward aspect of him in Columbus is what @stevo61 said. It means Provorov and Severson are paired together and each of them, despite having skills, are prone to making some costly puck and coverage mistakes.
