NHL Rumors: 3 Potential Free-Agent Destinations For Dante Fabbro

Dante Fabbro is one of the top right-shot defensemen who can hit the free-agent market on July 1. He thrived with the Columbus Blue Jackets after being claimed off waivers by the Metropolitan Division club and raised his value significantly because of it.

If the Blue Jackets are unable to re-sign Fabbro and he hits the free-agent market this summer, look for these three teams to target him.

Buffalo Sabres

The Sabres desperately need to improve the right side of their defense, so Fabbro could grab their attention this summer. He would strengthen their top four if signed and be a clear option for their penalty kill. When looking at a potential fit for him in the Sabres' lineup, he could work well on a pairing with Owen Power.

Ottawa Senators

One of the Senators' top goals this summer should be to add an impactful right-shot defenseman, and signing Fabbro would give them just that. He could slot very nicely on the Senators' second pairing with Thomas Chabot and give them another solid option to consider for their special-team units.

Dallas Stars

The Stars are another team to keep an eye on if Fabbro ends up testing the free-agent market. Adding another right-shot defenseman should be on the agenda for Dallas this summer, and Fabbro would give their blueline a nice boost if signed.
