I'm assuming you mean 1 million per 10 points on the UFA market here. Fabbri was on pace for ~50. Based on his consistency, over a full season, he'd have likely gotten there. At worst he'd have gotten close. Therefore, based on a 2.9 million per season salary, he is paid less than a UFA who produces similarly. Based on the '1 million per 10 points rule'. He came to Detroit, was a consistent point producer, was on pace for a career year at a young age, and stayed healthy. He earned this bridge deal. The money is fair. The term is safe. This contract will have zero impact on Mantha and Bert. Their next contracts actually will take them into their UFA years. They had their bridge deals. It's a completely different negotiation for the two. Helm and Glenny are gonna be our main trade deadline pieces next season. I honestly would love to see Blash put Helm back at center next season to up his trade value.

He is literally getting paid, on average, what most comparable players at his production is getting paid. He has two years to show he can keep it up or improve. The part I find truly baffling is how one can think this contract will have any impact what so ever with Bert and Mantha. They are in a completely different situation.
