Waived: [NSH] D Dante Fabbro waived by the Predators (claimed by CBJ)

[Just A Bit Outside]

Is this Dante’s Peak?

Or can he still be Fabbrolous for another team?

I'm not so certain he'll get claimed. If he's as valued as some on here think, someone would have traded a late pick for him.

I doubt he is “valued” much… he should be #3 on Nashville’s current depth chart but that isn’t saying much…. He’s more like #5 for a good team. Just… more than half the teams in the league are right up against the Cap, many others already have satisfactory depth on D, and tanking teams don’t really need to win more hockey games or spend more real $$$.

So I’m not surprised nobody wanted to trade for him. Maybe there will still be a team or three our there willing to claim him.

Maybe Dante's inferno.

Maybe Dante's inferno.

That’s after Taco Tuesday.

Feels like one of those times that everybody is so certain he should be claimed (me included), that he won’t be. I’ll probably be wrong here in a few minutes no matter what, the logic of who gets picked up on waivers are weird.

I wonder if his reputation, even among Preds fans who are convinced he’s getting a raw deal in Nashville - outweighs what you are actually getting for $2.5 million AAV. Would not surprise me if the cap hit keeps him unclaimed. Nobody “needs” a bottom pair/7 defenseman on that contract.

There are teams for whom the cap consideration is not just nonexistent, it's a potential advantage.

As long as this dude doesn’t have some pending legal issues that have arisen. He’s claimed

 

[weastern bias]

Boo! Boo Mike! Boo!

 

[Mr Positive]

I could see him not claimed because of that 2.5 aav hit

One of the most puzzlingly overrated players on this website.

Dime a dozen player everyone already has in their org

Looks up like six posts, claimed by Columbus

Yep, I see. The post you quoted has me complaining that both my teams passed.

They have space for 8 D

doesn't mean they need to carry them. Either Harris is gone or Jiricek down I'd imagine. Harris is kinda boring and just there. Team seems to like Johnson leadership and physicality more. Kinda figured Fabbro was a real option to help bring some balance of left/right shots
