Fabbri’s problem was injuries. He played well when he was healthy, and there’s no reason to believe the Blues soured on him. They moved him because they have a deep forward group and felt they could replace what he brought internally and cheaper.

It is a good example of a young player who bounced back after a move, but I doubt Bennett enjoys the same bounce. Fabbri has shown much more skill in the NHL than Bennett. Fabbri has 122 points in 246 (despite coming off a couple serious injuries) while Bennett has 138 points in 401 games.
