The Minnesota Wild are painstakingly making their way through their busy summer and aside from the negotiations for a new contract for Kirill Kaprizov, Kevin Fiala’s new deal is the most important thing that they can do this offseason.
After some talks, the Wild did a rarity and opted for arbitration, making it a club-elected arbitration case instead of a player-elected, with the hearing scheduling for this Tuesday. The team and player can still come to an agreement before then, but more signs are pointing to the hearing taking place and a new short-term contract for Fiala.
