Round 2 33rd overall Arthur Kaliyev

[Peter James Bond II]

Arthur Kaliyev at eliteprospects.com

Does an excellent job of finding soft spots in the offensive zone, getting to them with his stick ready to retrieve a pass and send it home, EPrinkside.com 2019
People understate Kaliyev’s hockey sense. His wrist shot is, it should almost go without saying, high-end, as well, EPrinkside.com 2019
Dangerous with the puck on his stick, he uses his frame to protect the puck well and possesses a nose for the net, Future Considerations 2019
He has a heavy slap shot, a wicked one timer, and rounds off the arsenal with above average snap shots and wrist shots, McKeen's Hockey 2019

2019 NHL Draft prospect profile: Arthur Kaliyev scouting report

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Stocking up on picks enables you to take swings like this.

Bravo.

 

[Telos]

Wow, I am surprised they took a flier on him. Excellent pick, just what we needed to do. Very glad they didn’t go for him with their first. Awesome draft so far.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

That’s what I’m talking about great recovery Blakey.

 

[Guitpik]

Quite a few were pissed off that the Kings didn't take this guy at #22, here he is.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Looks like they didn’t have to burn a first on Kaliyev after all. Now those who lost their shit yesterday can settle down.

 

[No Name The Nameless]

I'm not a big fan of picking him with our second first round pick.
Oh wait.

 

[King'sPawn]

King Arthur!

 

[Scottkmlps]

Lol, all that complaining for nothing.

 

[Sleeping Dog]

Lol, all that complaining for nothing.

Agree - we got a potential top 4 DMan and the flier on a goal scorer. Great job by Blake and crew.

 

[Lt Dan]

Lol

Anyone need help finding their shit? I plumb here and there

Worth noting, since the 04-05 lockout, only 4 other players have scored 50+ goals in a U18 season.

Tavares
Stamkos
DeBrincat
Skinner
McDavid would have, but I believe he broke his hand in a fight.

Not saying he will be a superstar, but it seems that scoring translates if you have the ability when you're young.

His ability to score will translate, the debate is about having the compete level without the puck but that is entirely coachable. That’s both offensively and defensively.

Nail Yakupov would have too if he didnt miss 3 games.

Nice company to be in, with exception of Nail.

Kid might have several shortcomings but with 51 goals you just have to do it.

I watched about half his points scored from last season. He's not just a goal scorer. I was impressed with his passing skills. He consistently setup his teammates for scoring opportunities. His offensive game seemed pretty well rounded to me. I do have some concerns about him, but definitely a worthwhile 2nd round pick.

 

[Rorschach]

I can’t believe we got BOTH my guys in Turcotte and Kaliyev!

And this is the best position to get the guy. Not only do we not spend a first on him, we send him a message that first, we want you, second, you have a lot to work on in your game. The second round is the perfect place to take a flawed first-round talent. The lower draft position lets the player know that they need to improve significantly.

He looks pretty well put together physically, would you say he’s 1 or 2 years away from the NHL (physically not technically)?

 

[Kale Hulls]

Big risk big reward. I think this pick makes sense in the overall strategy.

 

[ru4reals]

Pavel Brendl comparison someone mentioned yesterday. Dear goodness lets hope not. But 50 goals anywhere is not bad.

I mean, while I would never want to have Brendl in the org, it's a lot easier to stomach getting him in the 2nd round.

Yup agree. Boom or Bust and I don't mind at all taking a gamble on him. You never know with these young 18 year olds.

Hopefully all the cry babies that were complaining about the Tobias pick are now happy.
