Eastern conference team is now the front runner for Kevin Fiala
Lisa Dillman of The Athletic reports that the New Jersey Devils are the frontrunners to acquire his services.
"Most everybody I talk to believes the front runner in the Fiala sweepstakes is New Jersey, for two reasons," Dillman wrote. "One, Fiala looks as if he could be a good fit alongside fellow Swiss player Nico Hischier, a core piece going forward for the Devils. Two, the Devils have the necessary cap space to give Fiala the raise that he'll need in order to forego free agency and sign a long-term extension. They also have the draft capital/young players needed to make a deal happen."
The Devils also have the second overall. Will they make the playoffs next season?
Stay Tuned.
