Michael Russo of The Athletic: The Minnesota Wild and RFA forward Kevin Fiala have made some progress lately on a new contract.
He’s scheduled to have an arbitration hearing on August 17th and they are hopeful to get a deal done before then.
If a deal is not reached before the 17th, Fiala can choose between a one- or two-deal deal.

Thomas Drance of The Athletic: (mailbag) If they get to salary arbitration, it’s unlikely that Jason Dickinson would get much more than $2.
