I think Fabbro has more worth than a fourth. Not to mention you've simply replaced him with DeMelo who isn't what we need. We need a reliable young RD who we can develop. DeMelo would be a fine stop gap, but he's over 30 and you've signed him until he's 36. It makes more sense to keep Fabbro if we need a stopgap and then focus on drafting a RD this year or trading for one

We're not trading Saros for a another winger. We need another top 6 center.

Canucks pass.Dont see any real interest.IMHO.

Hard to say what Fabbro's true value is. He had trouble sticking in our lineup this season and it's not exactly a deep unit. He may need to move on to unleash his potential somewhere else.

Demelo would be brought in to give a bonified 1st pairing with Josi. Let's face it, we only have 3-5 more years with this "core" being in a place to win.

I don't think Saros will be enough to get us a top-6 center. They are prohibitively more expensive. Marner may not be the answer and he may not even want to come to Nashville but I'm just an armchair GM, not GMBT.

If a fourth was all Trotz could get for Fabbro he wouldn't trade him. Similar to what happened to Carrier this year.

DeMelo just had his best statistical season. Even still his underlying metrics weren't mind blowing. He's not a 1-2 defenseman. He's a 3-4 who just happened to compliment Morrissey well. He's not the solution on the top pair because we don't need more 30 year old defensemen who are only going to decline. Look at Luke Schenn and Ryan McDonagh. By the end of the series people were calling for Barrie to be in the lineup over Schenn, and McDonagh had some of the worst turnovers in the series.

We need to find a young RD who will develop and potentially be around after Josi retires. People need to stop looking at being a contender or winning the Cup like a window that opens or closes based on how a core is performing. Because there's layers to building a competitive roster and winning a championship. One of the layers is finding defensemen who will be the future of the franchise once the guys currently on the roster retire

Calgary may be willing to keep selling. Markstrom would be a much better fit.
