A player like Kaliyev is very likely going to be a very streaky player his entire career.
He's an elite shooter who can be very dangerous on the power-play.
His skating is barely adequate for the NHL game. He lacks consistent 200ft pace and generally picks his spots to play quick.
At the All-Star break it's safe to say the Kings were hoping for more out of the forward
Through 38GP he scored 6G-8A - was a (+1) - Averaged 13:09 TOI - 11:25 ES - 1:44 PP
Kaliyev doesn't PK - and likely never will at the NHL level.
Despite his stature he was only credited with 17 hits and 9 shot blocks in the the 38 GP -
Pure offense. When not scoring he struggles to contribute to team success in other areas of the game. Third line forward at even strength but a first unit power-play candidate.
