As the Blues inch ever closer to the start of camp, Robby Fabbri is a huge wild card. Derailed by knee injuries in each of the past two seasons, it would be shortsighted — perhaps even foolish — for the Blues to simply assume that the young forward will return to form.

After all, he may never be the same after two ACL surgeries to his left knee.

Or he may return to the form that saw him score 18 goals as a rookie in 2015-16 and 11 in 51 games in 2016-17 before the initial injury.

Or maybe he’s somewhere in between vintage Fabbri and broken-down Fabbri.

You know which one Fabbri’s voting for.

“It’s kinda like my first camp,” he said. “Coming in to re-prove myself and show everyone that I’m back and I’m ready to go. And I’m still the player that I proved before, if not better.”
