Dante Fabbro, a 24-year-old defenseman, has not played well this season and has been in the rumor mill for a possible trade piece for this struggling Nashville Predators team.

Having played in 39 of 42 games, Fabbro has one goal and seven assists. Being on pace for 16 points, based on 68 games played, puts him eight points behind his 24-point mark from one season ago.

Fabbro is also on pace, with 18 giveaways and eight takeaways, to have the highest number of giveaways and the lowest number of takeaways in the three seasons where he has played over 60 games.

One of the only two good statistics Fabbro has this season is his +/- and his expected goals for and expected goals against while he has been on the ice. In the +/- column, Fabbro is a +3. There have been 25.4 expected goals for the Predators and 23.9 expected goals against while Fabbro has been on the ice.

While it is unknown what the future holds for Fabbro and this organization, if he wants to be a Nashville Predator after March 3, 2023, his on ice production needs to increase. Even if it does, he’s an easy trade piece to peg.
