Best wishes to Robby thanks for the hustle.

A very sensible move at this point in proceedings by Steve Yzerman. Robby had done his part decently during the transition years, but he had already reached his peak, realistically speaking. I'm really beginning to look forward to the new season, now, in both Detroit and Grand Rapids. Let's Go, Red Wings🏒🥅🎯!

Like Fabbri, but 32pts and a minus 13 wasn't a good look this year. Wings seem to be dumping a lot of the players who were defensive liabilities last season. Addition by subtraction I guess.

Not a weird trade at all. It's a cap dump.

Exactly, he basically traded Fabbri and a 4th for Tarasenko and Alexander

It Frees up more money and a roster spot.

Fabbri ran hot and cold offensively, which did nothing to compensate for his weak defensive play. Hope he can continue his growth in SoCal.

Tarasenko replaces Perron in the top 6 and Fabbri was sent to Anaheim for a goalie that'll be playing in the minors as a salary dump to free up space for Tarasenko's salary under the cap . . . It is GMing 101 . . .

I had a feeling Fabbri would be moved this year. Open up the cap space for another move or making space on the roster for Berggren.

Just like sprong, a bottom 6 player who provides a lot of offensive upside but no defensive awareness just like sprong. Yes with both sprong and fabbri gone there will be less offence but a more defensively responsible bottom 6. It gives us more cap space and Tyler Motte will replace him.

Stevie-Y said it at the beginning of the season last season before game 1 of the regular season in one of his pressers... He says that he's looking to roll four lines a lot like the Florida, Panthers, or Vegas golden knights and even named the Seattle Kraken at the time.. He went on to say he doesn't look to have one or two big scores but a line of guys who can contribute matchup problems for other lines when facing other teams.. and now you can REALLY see it slowly forming itself into place.. they're really starting to look like a baby Florida Panthers. Slowly.. THIS IS WHY RED WINGS FANS NEED TO BE PATIENT AND STAY PATIENT WITH THE YZER-PLAN.. this man is very calculated and knows what he's doing..

Strictly a cap dump. Now they have money to re-sign Mo and Razor. Wish they could get another Dman, though.

still better then future consideration

Fabbri is a good hockey player but he should be paid 2.75, not 4.

Sucks not seeing Fabri anymore in Detroit. Hopefully he does well with the Ducks. Didn’t see this trade coming at all but I get it.

The Red Wings didn't pay extra to get Alexander on their team, they paid extra to get Fabbri off their team. Yzerman talked about how difficult it was to move money in an interview during the draft, and the point of this trade was to open cap space and a roster spot.

Fabbti’s knee hasn’t healed right, last year he didn’t throw a body check in the last 3 months, probably because his knee is messed up from checking guys that out weigh him by 30 lbs after 3 surgeries

I like Fabbri, but would like him better if played defense and did not take asinine penalties. Go Wings!

I like Fabs, but not at that price. Love adding Tarasenko. Winner: Compher, who now gets to dish the puck to T and Kane! Still need a good RHD: maybe trade Maata and Wallinder because we have so many LHDs. Perry and Husso come off the books next year: then, Y has the option of promoting Danielson, Mazur, Kasper, etc. or signing FAs. DET may be the big winner in free agency after all: we didn’t overpay for older, bigger names. Still wish he would have put Walman on waivers first, but that aside: things are shaping up nicely. Best wishes to Fabs!
