Predators Select Dante Fabbro with 17th Pick in 2016 NHL Draft

The 6-0, 189-pound native of Coquitlam, British Columbia amassed 14 goals and 67 points in 45 games with Penticton in 2015-16, a point total that led all British Columbia Hockey League defensemen. He also led all defensemen in points per game (1.49) and finished second in both goals and assists to help Penticton finish with the BCHL’s top regular-season record.

Fabbro (6/20/1998), who grew up a fan of the Predators, lists Preds Captain Shea Weber as his favorite NHL player.

“It’s definitely a special moment for me and my family,” Fabbro said. “I’m honored and humbled to be a part of this organization, and hopefully in the future I can make an impact.
