  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Fabbro was claimed off waivers by the Blue Jackets, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. Fabbro will get another chance in the NHL after he was waived by Nashville on Saturday. The 26-year-old blueliner failed to record a point in six games with the Preds this season after logging 13 points (three goals, 10 assists) in 56 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. Fabbro figures to step into a top-four role in Columbus.

• Predators' Dante Fabbro: Lands on waivers

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Fabbro was put on waivers by the Predators on Saturday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. Fabbro was selected with the No. 17 overall pick in the 2016 NHL Draft and had successfully established himself as a part of the Predators' blue line, recording 24 points in 66 regular-season outings in 2021-22, followed by 11 points, 50 PIM, 113 hits and 129 blocks across 79 regular-season appearances in 2022-23. However, he logged just 56 regular-season games last campaign, and the 26-year-old has been used even more sparingly this year. He has no points, a minus-3 rating, one hit and seven blocks across six outings in 2024-25 while averaging 13:06 of ice time. The defenseman has also been a healthy scratch in five straight games. Given his $2.5 million cap hit, Fabbro will likely go unclaimed and could be reassigned to the AHL Milwaukee.
