There’s no denying the difficulty in projecting Dante Fabbro as an NHLer, despite his obvious upside. The smooth-skating defensemen was an integral part of the Penticton Vees’ RBC Cup Championship last season, as a 16-year-old. This season, Fabbro racked up so many points that he holds the all time single-season record for points-per-game by a BCHL defencemen with 1.49, 0.12 above second-place Duncan Keith.
Fabbro was surrounded by a tremendous supporting cast, featuring the Canadian Junior A Player of the Year Tyson Jost, and the BCHL’s top scorer, Scott Conway. Undoubtedly, Fabbro’s production was aided by his surroundings, but make no mistake, the Boston University commit is a high-end prospect.
