Friedman updates us on Kevin Fiala's trade rumours

"I don't think he'll trade Fiala because he's having a bad season; if he trades him, it'll be because he feels it will help them," Friedman said.

Friedman does not feel that Wild GM Bill Guerin will adopt a similar approach to Poile and move the 25-year-old, despite the fact that Fiala has already been moved once for posing unique issues.

"He's quite self-assured, there's no doubt about that; sometimes it irritates people, but whatever, I'd rather have someone believe in themselves than not."
