Predators' Dante Fabbro: Lands on waivers
Dante Fabbro was put on waivers by the Nashville 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.

Predators' Dante Fabbro: Gets rare start Saturday
Dante Fabbro returned from a three-game stint as a healthy scratch in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blues, but he failed to crack the scoresheet in 17:09 of ice time.Fabbro's presence in the lineup is too unpredictable these days to count on him for fantasy production. Throw in his low scoring totals (2G, 8A in 42 games), and it's really hard to recommend him outside of very deep leagues. The 25-year-old defender posted a career-best 24 points two seasons ago, but it's difficult to imagine him getting back to that level anytime soon.
