Value of: Arthur Kaliyev
- Thread starter stl76
- Start date
Underrated player. Get him to New Jersey. He can score a lot. He was misused at LA. He skates exactly like Joe Pavs, so there is no problem.
he'd clear waivers when he gets sent down before the season starts.
It would be strange if he cleared. Based on on-ice results he has a higher ppg than most in that 2019 draft like Kakko, Dach, Cozens etc. I think he has more goals than Dach.
He has played less games than them and when he did play it was on the 4th line with Blake Lizotte, Brendan Lemieux and Carl Grundstrom. He didnt get time on a first powerplay unit either.
The Kings really screwed up handling this player and a team could really benefit taking a chance on him.
Robertson (California kid) really not needed in California (LA).
Kings will do much better starting to give Kaliev opportunities.

I'd argue Robertson would probably do well if the Leafs gave him some opportunities as well, I don't think he got all that much opportunity on the PP but if he got posted at the right face off circle for one timers, he could probably thrive. Did Keefe do that? No.
It's the same situation with Kaliyev no? You could give him an opportunity but for whatever reason, they won't be given it.

He would not clear waivers.
But the only reason he has a higher p/gp than most of the 2019 draft class is because most of the 2019 draft class (and every draft class) wont amount to much. He does not have a higher p/gp than any of Kakko, Dach or (especially) Cozens. The forwards taken ahead of him with a worse p/gp are Turcotte, Podkolzin, Poulin, Holmstrom, McMichael, Pelletier, Foote, Suzuki, Tracey and Beecher. And more productive guys taken after are Brink, Hoglander, Robertson, Dorofeyev, Maccelli, Voronkov, etc.
Can't comment on the Kings screwing up his handling or not, but I think most would be skeptical of the benefit of taking a chance on him (depending on what the chance meant).
So basically Kaliyev if the coach can give him top 6 minutes

Yup. Seems like Blake might be moving the Kings in the wrong direction.

This will always be my favorite draft conspiracy
The latest rumor is that both Kaliyev and Levshunov are drawing social security and medicare.

Nobody would give a 4th for him, likely because of that time he diddled Dudley in the bike shop.
I think the issue with Kaliyev is that a lot of teams didn't like his character and how he interviewed. He had a lot of red flags at the combine and was on a lot of teams DND list.
Be interesting to see how many takers their are for him.

Kings will settle for a fading 30 year old as long as he's a gud old boy, bonus points if he's somewhere in the Blake-Luc-McLellan network of guys they've shared a locker room wit, double secret probation bonus if he speaks French

Does Calle Jarnkrok make the cut?
Over 32 years, has 2 year term, a Swede (kempe need a buddy?), has character and dashing good looks toi
Doesnt speak french, and dont think hes connected with the kings trio
The Krok for Kaliyev make it happen Blake

Its A Kingspiracy !
...That won't lose board battles and get knock off the puck by guys under 6-0" and weight 50lbs less than him . And a shooting pct over 6.9 would help too.
