Holy shit we gave up a lot wtf

Must have an extension in place

 

[SFKingshomer]

Maybe Faber didn't intend to sign? I'm ok with the deal.

Fiala is exactly what we need. I am going to miss Faber and I am going to have to smoke crack during the first round to keep myself entertained, but Fiala is huge

The Kings just added an 85 point scorer, which likely translates to 60 points in LA. Still, what an awesome get. Now lock him up.

 

[GKJ]

Great stuff. Nice job.

I'm completely fine with this trade. Wasn't interested in this draft and we have too many RHD as it is. Getting an 85 point feels relatively cheap, we'll see what his contract will shape up to be, but overall I think this is a major W

 

[Lt Dan]

Great stuff. Nice job.

Thanks, I did my best

 

[KingLB]

Ok with, fills a need from a position of strength. Would love if Fiala doesn’t take the LA discount to his production as well…

 

[BigKing]

Writing was on the wall when they couldn't get him to sign. Bummer because he seemed like Blake's best draft pick as far as instant success as a freshman, WJC etc. Spence actually has shown it at the pro level though.

Kings were always trading the first this year. I haven't even been following who could be available at 19 since I knew it wouldn't matter.

Durzi stays, as expected.

The Sentinels should be so lucky.

 

[kilowatt]

Well that answers that.

Fiala - Kopitar - Kempe
Moore - Danault - Arvidsson
Iafallo - Byfield - Kaliyev
Lemieux - Lizotte - Grundstrom

 

[Brodeur]

Makes sense for both teams. Time to redo my mock draft....

 

[kovacro]

I would of been content with either Fiala or DeBrincat. Like the move. He’s become a very good hockey player since heading to Minny via Nashville.

 

[unicornpig]

Need to trade iafallo even more now can't pay 4 million for a third line winger

 

[Damassk]

Hearing the #LAKings will sign Kevin Fiala to a long-term extension as part of this trade with Minnesota.

 

[Moses Doughty]

As long as the contract isn't crazy, a mid 1st and a good prospect at a position of organizational strength is a smart move

 

[lumbergh]

Win(Kings)-Win(Faber). Minny forced to trade a good player due to Parise-Suter fiasco.

Don’t think anyone else in the league is going to either. Likely will have to add a bit or a sweetener or retain.

 

[SFKingshomer]

Fiala should start on Byfield's wing IMO...

I believe Fiala extension will come in approx $7.9M AAV

Seems high for what will likely be a 60-65 point player but he should help a lot.

 

[kilowatt]

Seems like a fair deal.

 

[unicornpig]

a lot of money, guess Blake wasn't confident in signing forsberg

 

[KingsHockey24]

8 million a year?!!? For Fiala?!?
