Overview
The Detroit Red Wings have traded forward Robby Fabbri and a conditional third-round pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for forward prospect Adam Henrique. The move comes as the Red Wings continue to rebuild their roster and the Ducks look to add depth to their forward group.
Robby Fabbri
Fabbri, 26, is a left-handed center who was acquired by the Red Wings from the St. Louis Blues in 2020. He has struggled with injuries throughout his career, but when healthy, he is a skilled offensive player. In 13 games with the Red Wings this season, Fabbri has recorded two goals and four assists.
Adam Henrique
Henrique, 33, is a right-handed center who has spent the past six seasons with the Ducks. He is a veteran of over 750 NHL games and has been a consistent performer throughout his career. In 34 games with the Ducks this season, Henrique has recorded six goals and 13 assists.
Analysis
The trade makes sense for both teams. The Red Wings get a young, talented prospect in Henrique who can help fill the void left by Fabbri. The Ducks get a proven NHL player who can provide some leadership and experience to their young team.
It is still too early to say how this trade will ultimately impact both teams, but it is a move that has the potential to benefit both the Red Wings and the Ducks.
Red Wings
- Get a young, talented prospect in Henrique
- Clear cap space
- Continue to rebuild their roster
Ducks
- Get a proven NHL player in Fabbri
- Add depth to their forward group
- Make a push for the playoffs
