Even in slo mo it's hard to see him shoot the puck, it's off his blade so quick.
It's unreal how much he gets on it with such little motion and from just about any position

Could he be the modern day Dave Taylor(who had trouble in interviews early on due to a stutter)?
So, his first game back in the OHL after the WJC...
...and with Jan Jenik, who some are saying has been carrying Kaliyev, out with injury...
...all he does is drop 5 *assists* (the first three primary) to start setting up all his teammates.
Man oh man, please let this guy be legit...
how can anyone think Jan Jenik is carrying Kaliyev? I know 30 teams appear to have(in reality they probably know something about him that we do n't, like a mental illness or something), but did these people also miss Kaliyev's season last year? He's doing as expected. Nothing surprising at all about his statline and dominance. He's on pace for a 30 point improvement over last year which is always very good but no where near unheard of. Foudy, Veleno, Noel, Groulx among others had similar improvements last year. In the 7 games without Jenik this year he has 5 goals, 12 assists.So, his first game back in the OHL after the WJC...

30 teams? So you think he shouldve been top 5?Absurd that this kid fell out of the first. Can't wait for this kid to prove 30 teams wrong.
Seriously i have not read that anywhere.how can anyone think Jan Jenik is carrying Kaliyev? In the 7 games without Jenik this year he has 5 goals, 12 assists.

Yog S’loth is talking out of his *** again.
Jenik does not need Kaliyev either.
JVR'ish, maybe? There are some players whose offense is so good that you don't worry so much about the rest of their game. Especially when they are 6'2", and fairly strong. I don't Vanek type skill on the guy, but he has sneaky good vision and passing skills, though it's pretty clear he is about shooting.
Bottom line is that goal scoring is one of the hardest, most instinctive things to find in a hockey player. If Kaliyev's ability to score comes with him to the NHL then coaches will be able to overlook the fact that he isn't the most diligent of two way players.

That does not mean Jenik is carying Kaliyev.He's not making that up, it has been mentioned more than couple of times. For example, TSN just recently ranked Jennik 6th among affiliated NHL prospects, while they had Kaliyev 16th.
Had 2 goals yesterday to bring his goals and points total to 37 goals, 79 pts in 46 games. What is also striking is he is 23 points clear of the next player on the team. Did LA commit a steal here as he was the highest rated OHL player by CSB pre draft.
All depends on how he is improving in the other areas of his game that are not up to NHL standards. All 31 teams knew he could score and that he'd likely score 50-60 goals this year. It is the other areas that got him into the 2nd round.
He certainly does not have a lot to work with, outside of Jenik and now Mysak.Had 2 goals yesterday to bring his goals and points total to 37 goals, 79 pts in 46 games.
