Dante Fabbro
Columbus Blue Jackets Defense #15
Fifty-four goals for and thirty-three against, and expected goals that say it was a coin flip.

Last Season
Five goals and six assists in 74 games — 11 points, minus-16, at 16:34 a night.
The Finesse Game
Very little. A hundred and one unblocked attempts from a median of 56 feet, one per cent of them inside twenty, five goals. Thirty goals in 451 career games.
Six assists in 74 games is close to nothing and reflects a defenceman who moves it to the nearest man and gets off the ice.
The Physical Game
Six foot even, 200, and he defends with position. Thirty-three penalty minutes. He is not physically imposing and does not pretend to be.
The Intangibles
An odd page. He was on for 50.1 per cent of the expected goals, 54th percentile, but only 47.8 per cent of the shot attempts, 34th — the reverse of the usual split, and it says the opposition got the puck and could not turn it into much.
The goals went 54-33 in his favour, a plus-21 margin at five-on-five, against expected goals that were dead level at 45.5 to 45.4. That is a twenty-one goal gift, the largest positive gap on the club, and it belongs to Greaves.
And the official record has him at minus-16, which means he was comprehensively outscored away from five-on-five — on a penalty kill that finished thirtieth.
Three numbers, three different stories. He is 28, a seventeenth overall pick on his second club, and the fair summary is a third-pair defenceman being asked for more.
