On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we react to the Wild trading Kevin Fiala to the Los Angeles Kings. We look at the factors that led to the Kings being the team that eventually made the trade. We discuss the return, react to some of Bill Guerin's press conference comments, and look at the biggest ripple effects caused by it. We look at whether or not Marco Rossi and a full season of Matt Boldy can fill the production void Fiala will leave. We look at ultimately why Fiala was traded, and what Brock Faber's acquisition means for the Wild's defensemen.
