Alexander was drafted 148th overall by the Ducks in the fifth round of the 2021 NHL Entry draft. During his time playing professionally in the ECHL and the AHL the 22-year-old from Okotoks, Alberta contributed collectively 11 wins, 19 losses and 6 ties.
With the move for Fabbri, the Ducks who have been relatively quiet during the offseason add some veteran depth at the centre position and some much-needed leadership on a team with a core in a rebuilding phase.
