The Kings acquired Fiala from the Wild on Wednesday and signed him to a massive seven-year extension, which represents a $2.775M AAV raise for the Swiss winger. Fiala will play a huge role in Los Angeles, next to either Anze Kopitar or Phillip Danault, both spots could allow him to build off of his career-best 2022 season.
The Kings have acquired Kevin Fiala from the Wild for a 2022 1st round draft pick and the rights to Brock Faber.
Fiala was set to become an RFA and the Wild likely weren't going to have the cap-space to re-sign him. They moved him and added a second first-round pick in 2022 and Brock Faber, who was a second-round pick (No.45 overall) in 2020. For Fiala, he heads to Los Angeles, where he'll likely play a key top-6 role next to either Anze Kopitar or Phillip Danault. Fiala is coming off of the best season of his career, scoring 33 goals with 52 assists (85 points) in 82 games.
The Stars have signed Joseph Cecconi to a one-year, two-way contract extension.
Cecconi was a fifth-round pick in 2015 and has spent his entire professional career with Texas (AHL). In 2022, he had 16 points (1G / 15A) in 65 games.
