Nonetheless, the Blues were able to ink a deal with the skilled left winger.<\/p>\n<p>Re-signing Fabbri was a bit of a debate among Blues fans. The forward hasn&#8217;t seemed the same since he suffered multiple injuries and missed a season-and-a-half of play. The 23-year-old Fabbri was noticeably stunted by the time off, not being able to find a consistent spot in the lineup last season. As a result, many fans expect Fabbri to be on a sort of &#8216;prove it&#8217; deal before the team agrees to commit to him long-term.<\/p>\n<p>Fabbri played in 32 total games last season. In those, he tallied a bleak six points. He chalked up another 10 games in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, recording one lone point. He was one of many players who fought for the fourth-line left-wing position. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/sanfoza01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zach Sanford<\/a><\/strong> often won the fight, though, playing in 60 regular season games.<\/p>\n<p>Looking towards next season, this same competition will likely unfold.
