from Jared Clinton of The Hockey News,
In Detroit, what Fabbri will be given is the one thing he so sorely needs to get his career back on track: an opportunity. He had proven through the early part of his career that he had a top-six skillset and, more importantly, mindset. He could think the game and see the game the way top-six talents so often do. He could make plays and find teammates and generate offense. Yet, upon his return to the lineup last season, he was relegated to minor minutes. In only eight games did he skate more than 15 minutes and he played fewer than 13 minutes in more than half of his appearances.
