The Rangers claiming Arthur Kaliyev is a no risk, high reward move. The 23 year old winger is skilled... peaking at 13-15-28 in 56 games in the 2022-2023 season.
Kaliyev is clearly skilled, something the Rangers desperately need in the lineup. He's also hungry, given the treatment the LA Kings have given him.
Many were happy with the Rangers claiming Arthur Kaliyev, but we do need to level set expectations a bit. Kaliyev hasn't played all season as a result of his falling out with the Kings organization.
It's unlikely he's going to get thrown into top-nine minutes right away. The kid needs to get legs under him.
