The Charlotte Checkers have announced the signing of former NHL forward Robby Fabbri to a professional tryout contract. This move is a significant opportunity for Fabbri, who aims to make a comeback after battling injuries over the past few seasons. The 27-year-old has previously shown flashes of brilliance during his time with the St. Louis Blues and Detroit Red Wings, where he recorded impressive statistics, highlighted by a standout 2016-2017 season.

Fabbri, known for his skill and tenacity, brings a wealth of experience to the Checkers. His ability to navigate through tight defenses and his exceptional playmaking skills make him an intriguing addition to the team's forward lineup. The Checkers are hopeful that Fabbri can recapture his form and contribute significantly as they aim for a successful season in the AHL.

With NHL aspirations still in the air, Fabbri’s performance in Charlotte could serve as a springboard back to the big leagues. If he can showcase his abilities and remain injury-free, there’s potential for an NHL team to take notice.
