Marek at the intermission says the #NJDevils really like Kevin Fiala, says they could see him playing with fellow countryman Nico Hischier. Tom Fitzgerald has already said he'd be willing to move his 1st RD pick for an impact player. Marek also mentions he could be an OS target.

2) OTT is extremely interested
3) NJD makes a lot of sense

Some thoughts from Gary:
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman says the league has no interest in an expanded playoffs. He believes the NHL has the best playoff structure.
