I was a fan of Kalievs shooting but I don't know if he's a fit for CGY.

If your going to pick up cast offs what’s the point of having a farm system?

He's as much as a '?' as a few of our NHL roster wingers IMO.
You can't "grab him for the Wranglers". If you put in a claim, you have to keep him in the NHL or put him back on waivers, at which point, the Kings would likely reclaim him and send him down anyway (I know that doesn't always happen, but it almost-always happens).

If he clears, they could try to trade for him, but just because the Kings waived him doesn't mean they want to get rid of him.

I don't know if the Kings would reclaim him. They seem to be pretty done with him.

In the off chance Vegas waives Cole Schwindt, I'd rather the Flames claimed him. That would fill a more pressing need, IMO.

I thought schwindt was regularly in Vegas lineup. Has something changed?

He was scratched in December for a few games. Then got back in because of injuries to Barbashev and Roy. And he’s not been good.

An interesting comparison to Mr. Canada Sam Bennett!

He had such a hot start, this is probably a correction back to his usual .6-.7 PPG.

Young player who has trouble producing and some questions about his all around game and effort. Rangers who have recently done their best to make an example of young players not producing.....seems like a perfect fit!

Yeah, it's confusing.

Give Kakko away for nearly nothing, pick up a lesser-Kakko on waivers. Profit?...nah.

Kaliyev's game will translate better in the East, but he'll need to stay healthy.
