I don't think AK sucks either, the team as a whole just can't maintain pressure, transition, pass, win the change game, forecheck, or escape pressure. utterly fragmented offense
This player is fantastic, just needs to work on communication, aim, map awareness, crosshair placement, econ management, pistol aim, awp flix, grenade spots, smoke spots, pop flashes, positioning, bomb plant positions, retakes, bunny hopping, spray control and getting kills

I understand why Anderson-Dolan plays over him. He’s not as talented but he does what the coaches ask of him and he puts in effort, Kaliyev does not do any of that with any consistency.

He's also just not fast. Easily the slowest forward on the team. If you don't have foot speed you need to do something at a high level to compensate for that.

For sure. He doesn’t have that Robitaille scoring touch as much as we had initially hoped for him. I could see a change of scenery trade for him.

ok so check it out, you're the best excavator operator in your city, you can dig a swale like no one's business to accuracy no one else can

you get hired and your boss hands you a blunt shovel and tells you to get digging.. you're probably not gonna want to do that for very long

What the coaches are asking of our players have us barely clinging to a wildcard spot. Maybe the players aren’t the problem?

I’ll run you off my job if you don’t do what I say and you dig slower than my laborers.

The coaches can only get so much blame. They’re not playing the game.

Hiller will end up giving Willie D a run for his money - but no one will ever be worse than Willie D tank commander

Ok?? Then trade him now. He clearly isn’t looking to put in anymore effort. The Kings have enough players that don’t give a damn. Some players just need a change of scenery.
