New York Rangers To Complete Massive Signing Involving Former Stanley Cup Champion
The New York Rangers have been looking for a solid solution to their secondary-scoring, and now they have found the perfect player. The team has been linked to one former-Stanley Cup champion who could fit that mold, Robby Fabbri, of the Anaheim Ducks.
The New York Rangers could add some depth in the lineup, just in case players don't make it into the lineup after training camp, and with GM Chris Drury being comfortable with Ducks GM Pat Verbeek, it seems like a deal could be easily made.
Particularly, the prospects such as Gabe Perreault or Brett Berard, as the team needs to hustle to find more secondary scoring for the year. Something the New York Rangers seriously need since they traded away Filip Chytil and Kaapo Kakko.
That could come from former Stanley Cup champion, Robby Fabbri.
Robby Fabbri the perfect player for the New York Rangers
Fabbri won a cup with the St. Louis Blues in 2018-19 and has become a journeyman in the NHL since.
Last season, he laced up the skates with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring 16 points (8-8) in 44 games. The year beforehand, 32 points (18-14).
His highest career output came during his rookie season in 2015-16, scoring 37 points (18-19) with the Blues. He's always been a depth addition wherever he's landed. Before the Ducks, he played in Detroit for the Red Wings for five years.
Fabbri's last contract paid him $4 million AAV in Anaheim, and he remains without a contract as a UFA.
The former 21st overall pick in the 2014 NHL Draft has only played for three NHL teams during his career, and the Rangers could be his fourth if Drury could make a deal happen.
Though it might require a cap dump elsewhere for a late-round pick.
