Well, damn. Color me surprised. Drury actually did something smart.

NYR always falling into good players through some bullshit.

Not surprising, Kaliyev was an obvious guy as a "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks" waiver claim.

It's just more wild to me that the Rangers stink so much that they're sitting 7th in the waiver claim priority list.

Define "good"

For those interested, this cost New York $56,250, paid to Los Angeles and not counted against the cap.


Players claimed this season: 21
Total compensation: $608,625

they just want to ruin his development like kakko

 

[Peter Griffin]

Now Drury can trade Laf+ for Miller.

Way to go Chicago

Exactly what the Rangers needed was another offensive winger with compete concerns that probably needs powerplay time and good deployments to get the most out of!

He's in there somewhere.

Yes, and the only thing that's transpired since is him getting dicked around by the Kings.

Much like Spence getting 28 minutes then getting sent to the AHL

Or like Clarke being the best player on the ice for 9 games and then getting sent down to the AHL to NOT PLAY for an entire month before going back to juniors

Or Byfield not even being used in 3v3 or PP so they can double shift Fiala

I can go on for days

Kaliyev obviously needs 'conditions' to work/be right but there's a skilled player in there. His biggest 'problem' with the org was being probably the only kid with balls enough to ask for a trade, that's when he got Robidas Islanded.

From the west coast, to the east coast, gotta gotta....er...wait.... It's the other way around. Dammit. Would have been perfect. Ah well. Go Team Go.

Winning lotteries. Players only willing to sign/be traded to NY

A guy who needs 'conditions' to work with an upside of 0.5 PPG isn't what I'd call a "good" player.

Could he be a good player? I guess, there is some offensive talent there. But he kinda can't skate, is pretty bad defensively and doesn't really offer anything outside of his offense. He's more likely in that Daniel Sprong territory of players, who I also wouldn't call a "good" player.

He's an offensive guy that has 46 ES points in 188 NHL games ...

I guess we'll just agree to disagree that potentially picking up a 40 point player on waivers is good, especially when much of that production came from a depth slot and limited minutes.

 

[FSL KINGS]

Good luck to Kaliyev. Hope he's not too rusty coming off injury & being benched for a year or two.

 

[AirGut]

No complaints here, local kid, has had issues but it can't hurt to give him another chance.

He was benched/banished for half of that.

I didn't say claiming him off waivers isn't good, I said he's probably not a good player like how I don't consider Daniel Sprong a "good" player.

An offense-only guy needs to be producing more than 40 points with PP time to be someone I'd call a "good" player. Even in his good year where he had 28 points in 56 game, pretty much half of his production (8 goals and 12 points) were PP points.

I'm sure this will go great with Laviolette "coaching".
