Round 2 33rd overall Arthur Kaliyev

[Sol]

Ive watched all of the summer showcase games USA has played so far. Kaliyev has consistently looked like the best player on that team imo. He might legitimately be our best prospect right now. Offensively he is on a different level then even Turcotte. And for as much as people knock his defense and effort i don't see the issue there.

I think they knock on his defense because it's a Russian stereotype.

 

[Rusty Batch]

Yeah I dont understand it. Also Bjornfot has looked excellent, one of those dmen that always seems to have the puck and is making plays. Fagemo has been great as well. I really think we did a phenomenal job in this draft.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I think they knock on his defense because it's a Russian stereotype.

To be fair, he was definitely floaty in major juniors.

But it may not be a fair criticism if the rumors of him playing close to 30 min a game are true, too.

I just say imagine what a guy like that can do when he ISNT the main focus, has more controlled minutes, and pro fitness.

 

[Steve Zissou]

The kid has a lethal shot and deadly shot-pass as his main weapons. I'm okay with seeing how he can learn to be a pro rather than the other way around.

 

[Rusty Batch]

He has a lethal shot for sure, his hands are very good, and he combines that with really elite level Hockey IQ. When you watch him in the offensive zone it looks like he is always open. Hes seemingly always in a dangerous spot, with a passing lane to him, when his teamates have the puck. And when he gets the puck hes ready. He scored 4 goals in this showcase and on each goal the puck touched his stick once...

He could have had much more than 4 goals too, he was directly involved with alot of scoring chances.

Kaliyev (along with Bjornfot) was one of Pronman's 13 "standout prospects" at the World Junior Summer Showcase (Pronman: Standout prospects at the World Junior camps). His comments:

Kaliyev didn’t have the highlight reel plays of Caufield in the tournament, but like Caufield, Kaliyev created a lot of offense and was one of USA’s better offensive players. He’s got his bullet shot, which led to one goal, but he had a ton of other chances as a product of his skill and sense. He showed how well he can move the puck around the offensive zone. His skating looked very average at this pace, but he did show he can keep up.

Alphabetically:

Philip Broberg, Tobias Bjornfot, Cole Caufield, Joel Farabee, Nolan Foote, Ville Heinola, Anttoni Honka, Ryan Johnson, Arthur Kaliyev, Spencer Knight, K'Andre Miller, Nick Robertson, Trevor Zegras

Heinola and Honka were listed as a pair for Finland, like Broberg and Bjornfot were for Sweden.

 

[jfont]

thank you

 

[Boxscore]

I think this kid might actually be closer to the NHL that some people think. Awesome mitts.

 

[Steve Zissou]

@Boxscore Maybe, but he definitely has a way to go in regards to maturing and playing in a mans league.

 

[Canadian Game]

Kaliyev scored the Hamilton Bulldogs’ opening goal of the OHL season tonight.

 

[King'sPawn]

He has an assist, too.

 

[Canadian Game]

Nice play by Kaliyev to create this goal. This is Kaliyev’s second assist of the game.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Good grief.

Nice play by Kaliyev to create this goal. This is Kaliyev’s second assist of the game.

I think he may already be the best winger on the Kings....

 

[Steve Zissou]

Love this pick especially when you consider that the Kings wanted him late in the 1st and were fortunate to find him still there early in the 2nd.

One of the most fortunate drafts in recent Kings memory. They got everyone they wanted within the first 33 picks.

Some nice karmic payback for getting screwed so hard in the lottery.

i like the defenseman breaking his stick with his slash then motioning like he wanted a call

 

[Peter James Bond II]

And....King Arthur...strikes again tonight. Goal and an Assist. 5 pts in 2 games.

He’ll probably earn even more points once Jan Jenik returns from the Coyotes (if he’s not assigned to AHL). Jenik was the top line center after the trade deadline last season and the two formed chemistry quickly. The guy who was filling in as top line C beside Kaliyev got a concussion on Friday, so they’re thin up the middle right now. It was a tough game tonight (8-5 loss) but Kaliyev played well. One thing they did differently with him tonight was give him PK time, which I don’t recall ever seeing before. I think the coaches are doing this to help him develop with his two-way game.

Is That right Jaime Drysdale was on the ice for all 8 Erie goals ? Our next stud D draft pick we will miss out on , I know it’s early but we get a kid like that to go with Vilardi, Turcotte and Kaliyev, Thomas and JAD just saying

Drysdale was very noticeable all night. I wouldn’t have thought he was on for all 8 but cant recall offhand. He had points on 5 of the goals (1G, 4A) though.

 

[Ghetty Green]

Barron > Drysdale

Nothing against Kaliyev, but that defense... OOF.
