Red Wings ink Fabbri to 2-year deal with reported $2.95M AAV

The Detroit Red Wings have signed forward Robby Fabbri to a two-year contract extension, the club announced Monday.

Fabbri's new deal carries an average annual value of $2.95 million, reports The Athletic's Craig Custance. His current contract has a $900,000 cap hit, according to CapFriendly.

The 24-year-old, who was a pending restricted free agent, collected 14 goals and 31 points in 52 games with the Red Wings this season after the St. Louis Blues traded him to Detroit for center Jacob de la Rose in November.

Fabbri had registered only one goal in nine games with the Blues in 2019-20 at the time of the trade, but he made an immediate impact upon joining the Red Wings. He notched two goals in his debut with his new club and racked up eight markers and 15 points over his first 16 contests with Detroit.

Though he was frequently beset by injuries through his first three NHL seasons with the Blues, Fabbri was a member of St. Louis' championship squad last season. He suited up for 10 playoff games in 2019, including two in the Stanley Cup Final.
