I dunno man, last year when he was hurt the team was definitely missing him.
DId a quick check and the Kings were 7-4-2 without Fiala. That's a 100-point pace over 82 games. They outscored their opponent 42-27. They were 10/38 on the powerplay (26%).


The difference without him was arguably negligible.

Dont think that can be used as hard evidence because only 3 of the 13 games were against eventual playoff teams.. but it is interesting... you also have to consider things like when DD went down in 21-22 I believe PP and team scoring overall went up noticeably. My point is it may be misleading to use those stats to evaluate a player's overall effect on the team. I personally am questioning Fiala these days based on eye test only. Last year I thought he was very effective at generating offense and not being quite as boneheaded as he is this year... dont have stats for that, just my impression.

Understandable. I went with the "hard numbers", because then we'd get into arguments of subjectivity.

I could have simply said "I disagree", but then I'd just look like a hater since I spoke out against the Fiala trade from the beginning.

And in the playoffs we were 2-1 without Fiala, and 0-3 with Fiala.

He had two tripping penalties in those 3 games. Each of which resulted in a PP goal for EDM.
