Thoughts? How about HSJ is a hack.

Or. Lack of depth makes it easier for other teams to focus on Larkin. Hockey 101 no?

Fabbri should never be a top line center on any team, at least not until he proves that he can be a center in the NHL. The faceoff percentage is being vastly overstated though. Yes faceoffs matter, but they don't matter nearly as much as kip is making it seem. A 45% center can win a faceoff against a 55% center on any given draw. It's still basically a coin flip. What happens after a faceoff win or loss is what matters much more, and that's where Fabbri would fall short to Larkin, as well as any other 1C in the league. Larkin was just under a point per game center the season before. The team last season was historically bad. That's not on Larkin. You can't assume a downward trend because of one down season. I guarantee Larkin will outpace his points from this past season, next season. He will also out produce Fabbri while playing against tougher competition every night. Assuming both are healthy, Fabbri will not play a bigger role on this team next season (or any season) than Larkin. Sorry man, but I really can't believe this is even a discussion, much less a debate.

I mean, he can't out compete Larkin. So really, there's not much else to say. People give HSJ a hard time and sometimes I feel sorry for her but then I read articles like this one. I don't know what she's thinking. Unless she wasn't trying to say Fabbri should be #1 C rather just that he should be Mantha's C? I dunno. It's so dumb it has to be a misunderstanding.

HSJ is a dingbat. My biggest concerns would be whether Fabbri can consistently win faceoffs against top centers (he probably can't) and whether he can defend against top centers (he probably can't). We don't have other options, so I don't mind them trying him at center, but assuming that guy can out compete legit top centers is absurd.

You don't (maybe) ask a guy to switch to C and then ask him to be the team's #1 C. The fact that this is even a discussion is bonkers

Pretty good price for the Red Wings. I just hope he can stay healthy. He's up to a 90 overall in the 4th year of my NHL 19 franchise mode. So there's that to look forward to.

Is there a no fighting clause in this contract?
