  1. Fiala definitely lived up to expectations. He's just now entering his prime and definitely looks like a point per game player for this contract. Had he not gotten hurt he probably puts up around 90 points. The biggest difference was how much he improved the PP with how he could enter the zone and his passing ability. The only negative is the dumb penalties. But you can live with some Fiala Hat Tricks (Goal, Assist, Dumb Penalty) over the course of the season.

  2. Timing the upload with Switzerland times, I see what you did there, hahaha. I really enjoyed Fiala, the downside, if you want to call it a downside, is that his speed and breakaway ability make stretch passes a priority but lead to more mistakes. That will get better with a solid line. Go Kings Go.

  3. He has a knack for taking penalties.. He really needs to work on staying out the box..But…. Other than that he did open up the ice for a lot of the other players and took some pressure off them.. Resulting in more balanced scoring..He kinda reminds me of Palffy when he came to the Kings. Now if we could find a Deadmarsh type player out there I'd be happy. Go Kings

  4. Good video on Fiala, Eddie, thanks. I keep saying that I want to see Byfield centering the 3rd line with Fiala to the left and Vilardi to the right wing. Either QB or Fiala can be driving the line with the puck while Gabe can be down low and QB & Gabe will make up for Fiala not being good on D. What 3rd line or last pair from opponents can match up with this line? Kings still need a goalie & LHD.

  5. So to get a good goaltender and LHD, may have to trade away Roy, Durzi and or Spence, plus Iafallo, Arvidsson or Moore, to gain cap space. I prefer keeping Arvidsson because he is special while Moore is similar to Iafallo so I prefer trading Moore. Arvy is also a clutch player, just ask any Ducks fan who saw Arvy destroy Ducks in past playoff series, 2 or 3 of them while with Nashville.
