Arthur Kaliyev

And frankly shoot it harder than a lot of the elite scorers in the NHL.

Now, that doesn't mean it translates, right? Like, Arthur Kaliyev also has [laughs]-

Yeah

... an elite shot, and there are all sorts of guys who have that who don't, don't get there.

And if I've missed some, or some guys have signed in Europe, please bring it up.

Uh, did Arthur Kaliyev end up going to Russia? I read that he was going to, and I haven't looked recently.

Okay.

Anyway, but the top line names are the likes of Laine and Tarasenko, I guess to some extent, Jonathan Drouin.

But still, like, he was freaking good.

And I thought that him, Zgris, and Kaliev were going to be, like, all three of them were going to be legit, legit NHLers.

And ironically, Zgris is really the only one that's pretty much consistently been an NHLer.

Yeah.

All right.

Next up, we have the Ottawa Senators.

So going out is Brady Chuck, Nick Jensen, Lars Eller, Lassie Thompson, Ali Likesell, Arthur Kaliev, Dennis Gilbert, James Reimer, and Matt Sogard.

Coming in is William Eklund, Sam Arison, Andre Burakowski, Phil Tomasino on a one-year $900,000 deal, and Sammy Blay on a one-year $925,000 deal.

[laughs]

Yeah, tho- those were Arthur Kaliyev's numbers last year.

Yeah.

[laughs]

Yeah, I think it's like, you know, Drury, we've always seen him go out.

You know, you look at Ty Cartier, Kaliev, like he goes out for these low-hanging fruit.

Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.

But I've been in the last couple weeks of these episodes, we've been kind of talking about that bottom six and kind of how it's been a little bit low compared to other teams' bottom six.

This guy playing with a disher like Stephen Halliday would be incredible.

I mean, we talked to Halliday about playing with Kaliev, very similar player.

Kaliev is the floor for Haltonen.

Yeah, because Haltonen provides more, and I mentioned that comparison to J.D. Young, and he was saying, well, look, hey, or at least I think, no, no, no, it was, I think it was with the boys at Puck Bunker, and Darren Boyce was saying, look, don't do Haltonen dirty there, because they're familiar with the London Knights, so they've seen him play a lot.

He has much more to his game than Kaliev.

Like, Kaliev is a one-dimensional guy.

He can shoot it, that's it.

But he can shoot it among the best of them.
