Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-DispatchFabbri was issued a qualifying offer from the Blues on Tuesday, kdkd reports.

EDGE Analysis

As part of the deal, Fabbri will earn $925,000 as base salary at both the NHL and AHL level. The 23-year-old produced just six points last season in 32 NHL games. Fabbri will still face an uphill battle to crack the lineup on a nightly basis with the Blues, considering the emergence of young forwards such as Samuel Blais and Robert Thomas.
