Fiala hurt in collision with Wilson

This sucks.

Too bad we don't play the Caps again this season. Once again Tom Wilson has injured another player because he is a dip$***.

They’re not messing around.

How does this affect Fiala’s NHL contract and Kings LTIR pay since he was injured at the Olympics and not during an NHL game? Could the Kings not pay him for breaching his contract or something similar?

He will be available for ltir, a big part of the cba negotiation was the insurance rates with IIHF so this would be covered and not impact hrr, no the contract cannot be cancelled

If this would have had happened to a Vegas player, I would have been like, sure LTIR "injury."

Kings have so many other playmakers and scorers, he probably won't even be missed.

I’m sure he’d get some awfully dirty looks. He’s got be taking a deep sigh of relief.

He's out for the season with a leg injury. What is the extent to the injury and what did he break? He had surgery yesterday, why the secrecy?

 

[Liz4LA]

Well, I was waiting til it was official- no more Kevey for the season. That means Kings have his cap hit free. You know who's playing really good in the Olympics- that Swedish guy from Vancouver,,,Elias, come on down.

I would hope Holland stands pat during the rest of the trade deadline. During the offseason, make the moves that will improve the Kings. Hopefully Fiala will be able to play next season.
