Kevin Fiala linked to another NHL team during the playoffs
NHL analyst Jeff Marek reported news involving Fiala and linked the 25 year old forward to the New Jersey Devils organization.
Marek cited several factors behind this move including the Devils' desire to add talent up front.
The Devils would like to add a winger for their centre Hischier.
"So Tom Fitzgerald, general manager of the New Jersey Devils, was talking to the assembled media and discussing that he might be amenable to moving their first round draft pick for an 'impact player,'" said Marek on Saturday night. "That's where we connect some dots here. I'm told the New Jersey Devils really do like Kevin Fiala and why not? Had a great season with 85 points, I'm sure they can probably see him playing with fellow countryman Nico Hischier as well. The Minnesota Wild are going through a cap crunch next season with the buyouts for Zach Parise and Ryan Suter as well."
Fiala had 33 goals and 52 assists for 85 points in 82 games this season.
Amazing year for Fiala.
