it's good for albany
i would loov to know who the hell this guy is
We don't have to talk about Kalinin in the GDTs ever again.
Win in my book.
Kalinin didn't heavily regress, they just used him at center more which exposed his flaws, and stopped using him on the power play where he got a few goals but had no business playing there.
Kalinin is not eligible for the expansion draft, so that's not why they made the move.
I wouldn't say he heavily regressed, as much as he heavily overachieved last year, due to playing with Zajac and Palmieri and on the PP. and even in all that, he still only scored 15 points in 78 games. Ryan Carter could probably do that with Stephen Gionta and no PP time at all. He was always worthless, and I've said from the beginning. His ceiling was the role he was in just now, like how we used Fiddler at 4C/secondary shutdown guy. He just failed miserably and didn't even meet that. So did Fiddler this year, but he's just old and near the end of the road.Kalinin heavily regressed from last year.
It will be whoever takes over that "Secondary shutdown" role! LOL could it possibly be Blandisi in that role?Did Bleed die of overwhelming bliss?
He needs a new scapegoat now
Anything is better than him, unless your name isn't Mark Fraser. And I'd bet even most people named Mark Fraser are better too, just not THE Mark Fraser.Can't be worse than Helgeson.
