Nashville, Tenn. (March 27, 2019) - Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced Wednesday that the team has signed defenseman Dante Fabbro to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Fabbro, 20 (6/20/98), set career highs in points (33) and assists (26) with Boston University during his junior season in 2018-19, en route to being named a Hockey East Second Team All-Star for the second consecutive campaign. The 6-foot-1, 193-pound blueliner's point total is tied for 10th among all NCAA defenseman and he is the only collegiate player to record at least 30 points (33) and 80 blocked shots (82) this season.
