Hosted by Kyle Knopp and Matthew Zator, The Hockey Writers Podcast is where your favourite THW contributors discuss the hottest topics around the NHL and hockey world, five days a week (Monday to Friday). In today’s episode, Matthew is joined by Kristy Flannery (Devils) and Mariah Stark (Wild) to discuss the Wild trading Kevin Fiala to the Los Angeles Kings for a 2022 first-round pick and Brock Faber and how they will replace his offence in 2022-23. They also discuss whether the New Jersey Devils dodged a bullet by not acquiring him before talking about the 2022 Draft and who the Wild might choose with their newly acquired 19th overall pick. Finally, Kristy addresses the speculation of trading the second-overall pick versus selecting Shane Wright or Logan Cooley should Juraj Slafkovsky be chosen first overall by the Montreal Canadiens.
