Blues Waive Robby Fabbri; Wild Secure His Claim

The Minnesota Wild have successfully claimed forward Robby Fabbri from the St. Louis Blues, according to reports by Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman. This transaction occurred after Fabbri was placed on waivers by the Blues on Sunday.

Robby Fabbri’s Season Performance

This season, Fabbri, 30, recorded one goal and four points during 15 games with the Blues. His contributions in this limited stint highlight the challenges the team has faced.

Previous Contract and Transactions

Fabbri signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Blues on December 10.
Before his claim, four other players were waived on Sunday but went unclaimed: Andrew Mangiapane, Alec Regula, Luke Kunin, and Guillaume Brisebois.

Joining the Minnesota Wild

Fabbri is set to join the Wild, who have recently placed veteran winger Marcus Foligno on the injured reserve due to a lower-body injury. This move enhances Minnesota’s hope for home-ice advantage in the Central Division.

Fabbri’s Career Highlights

Originally a first-round pick by the Blues in the 2014 NHL Draft, Fabbri debuted in the NHL during the 2015-16 season. He played a vital role in helping the Blues reach the Western Conference Final that year.

Despite facing significant knee injuries in subsequent seasons, Fabbri contributed during the Blues’ successful 2019 championship run, appearing in 10 playoff games. His achievement during this season is commemorated with his name engraved on the Stanley Cup.

Subsequent Moves and Contributions

Fabbri was traded to the Detroit Red Wings early in the 2019-20 season and proved himself as a quality middle-six forward over five seasons. However, he continued to battle various injuries throughout his career.

After the 2023-24 season, he was traded to the Anaheim Ducks. Across his career, Fabbri has played 457 NHL games, accumulating 107 goals and 220 points. He has also contributed five goals and 16 points in playoff contests.

Conclusion

Fabbri’s move to the Minnesota Wild presents an opportunity for him to revitalize his career while offering the Wild additional offensive options as they pursue a strong position in their division.
