Kings Take a Swing and Acquire Fiala The Kings made a big splash when they decided to trade for Kevin Fiala from the Minnesota Wild. They definitely needed another game-breaking forward, and one that was in the prime of his career was likely to be a target given the age profiles of the rest of the forwards. Fiala was about to turn 26 when the Kings traded for him, and was coming off the best season of his life, posting career highs in goals and points.
