Around the NHL: Kings trade talks heat up post Fiala injury, Canadiens could include Laine in offers
"The best-on-best tournament has been nothing short of sensational, as the top players on the planet have done a fantastic job of providing some of the most entertaining hockey in years. While NHL action may be paused on the ice, the conversations between management teams across the league continues. The roster freeze concludes February 23, and while we're not expecting to see a flurry of deals immediately after,"
"One of the more heartbreaking stories of the Olympic games so far is seeing Switzerland's Kevin Fiala get tangled up with Canada's Tom Wilson, resulting in Fiala breaking his leg and requiring season-ending surgery. Fiala had surgery to repair multiple fractures in his lower left leg, the Kings haven't placed any timetables on Fiala's recovery and stated they'll re-evaluate him once the NHL season concludes."
Olympic competition has produced sensational, high-level hockey while NHL play is paused. The NHL roster freeze ends February 23 and trades are expected in the days after as general managers prepare for the March 6 trade deadline. Los Angeles Kings forward Kevin Fiala suffered a season-ending lower-left leg fracture after a collision with Tom Wilson and underwent surgery; the Kings have not set a recovery timeline and will re-evaluate him after the NHL season. The Kings remain positioned to pursue upgrades, retaining a 2026 first-round pick, two second-rounders and several high-end prospects, with Nazem Kadri cited as a potential target.
