Speculation: Kaliyev trade...

[HabsAddict]

I know him from the main board and from Return of the Jedi
He's a good guy and a great hockey mind

Cheque is in the mail...

watch him get traded to the Pens and put up 30g oals his first season

If you put him in a spot where he can be fed pucks from the circles down, and not require anything else out of him, then yeah, he will put up some goals.

Same applies to Fagemo, so maybe it's no surprise that one dimensional wingers don't fit into their expectations. Chromiak can't even get into a playoff game.

So if the plan is to draft goal scoring wingers and develop them to adapt, they are either scouting the wrong kids or their developmental team is a failure. With both you get egg rolls.

We have a lot of egg rolls.

That's exactly what I expect him to do, go out and pick corners cold. That's his role. If he can't do that, he can't play in the NHL, because he's not ever going to be Blake Lizotte.

Well then I'm sorry, Rob, but you can't deploy him as Lizotte and expect Johnston. Literally no one does that. Except YOUR LOS ANGELES KINGS!

What's the offer from MTL?

HabsAddict has been circling the Kings for weeks now, a shark knows when to feast

Never stop a great theft...

When the Jets traded for Monahan, i was on the Jets board assuring them that it was a good trade...and they saw ghat in weeks.

I'm no angel but i value a good hockey discussion.

What's the offer from MTL?

I already made the deal with LTDan.

Burgers and beer.

Here's what really happened

Value of: - Pierre Luc Dubois

Anderson + Gallagher + Price For PLD and a your 1st Or you can buy him out and pay him for 14 years. Or keep him and be angry and depressed for 7 more years. But...what if he is a lockeroom problem?

Lies, deceit, creating mistrust are his ways now.

I would take a smoked meat cart with pepperettes and some little jars of steak spice parked right outside Crypto

Kaliyev will absolutely score 30 goals, 60 points on a team that actually encourages creativity/offense.

Habs would do well to acquire him for a modest price of a 1st round pick and a prospect.

If i shave my legs i can call myself a supermodel.

I'm staying away on the value of the trade.

Blake’s top target in the dumpster is a goalie. His best prospect to completely trash is Arthur.

The only stars I see aligning here are Kaliyev and a 4th for Binnington at 50% retained.

The more i think about it...it raises more questions...

I wonder how Kaliyev will feel moving from a team that treats him like a bottom 6...to a team that has a pile of young guys who want to eat his liver.

St Louis is getting a players coach reputation but he also has a lot of babies that need their soothers. Kaliyev wont get the attention Hutson, Reinbacher and Mailioux are going to get because all of them have top 4 written on them.

Front we have a pile of middle 6 forwards that will de'liver him. Some are tough guys, some are 200ft players, some are prima donnas but with too much skill. Basically, he has to WANT to rise and to WORK for it because top 6 or top 9 wont be handed to him.

When i was a young pup and managing way too many people, i had an owner who was a great teacher. Every single day I got the same question....what have you done TODAY to earn your job. And he expected an answer.

"Kaliyev, what are you going to do to earn your playing time"

If AK had half the talent and motivation he has, he'd be a fixture on the 2nd line.Johnston is a really smart player, AK is not. He always seen to go to the right spots on the ice, you can see he gets it.

Well, I don't have half the optimism and positivity in the staff you have, that's for sure.

I can't believe people are still evaluating players here based on their usage by the Kings org.

Never let benchwarmers analyze benchwarmers...

Seeing the McDavid highstick on Hughes and no call was the epitome of the star treatment. The ref was 4 feet from it, then threw Hughes off the ice because he was bleeding all over the it.
