Thread: Wings
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FireLordZuk0</b></div><div>A little unfair to compare Fabbri to these players IMO. The cap hits match, but the players and productions dont. Zaitsev never got more than 17pts in a season was 31yrs old when traded. Dickinson was never a 30pt player until after traded to CHI. Bailey was 33yrs old when traded. All traded to the blackhawks when cap was finally starting to go up after the covid standstill.

Fabbri - 28yrs old at $4mil cap hit for 1 more year. 32pts in 68 GP almost hitting 20 goals and has the cheapest contract out of these examples and brings a physical edge to the game with two way play and solid PK skills</div></div>

That may be true, but not a single team in the NHL is taking Fabbri's $4m cap hit for free. It just doesn't make any sense.

Simple fact is Wings would be paying to dump. I don't really care for debating how much that would cost.

As I said in my initial comment, it's easier to just buy him out if they're so desperate for cap flexibility.
