Conditional draft pick based i Fabbri's performance. No pick for his rookie year through a 2nd or 3rd for falling off the map.

I am sure most Leafs fans will look at this and say WTF?

Hear me out. Fabbri in his rookie year did thrownup 37 points, so he has some talent. Where is inability to hold a spot on the Blues line up can be concerning, it also could be a function of UFA signings to upgrade along with better players simply passing him by. But if he can get ice time and find his game, he statistically replaces Hyman, for roughly $1.5 million less, and with contract control. For the Leafs, the money may matter.

For the Blues, Hyman replaces the workhorse mentality Marron brought last year. By no means a top 6 winger here, he is still a solid 3rd line guy, and effextively pushes a declining Steen out of the lineup. Hyman ans Sandford will battle.for ice time - and that isn't a bad thing.
