Rangers claim Arthur Kaliyev

He’s got talent, and he can’t be worse than some of the schmucks were putting out there.

 

Scouting report says defensively he’s a moron so he should fit right in. Offensively he’s gifted with an incredible shot.

I wanted the Rangers to draft him back when.

 

Maybe it’ll work out.

 

Sounds a little like a Zherdev/Frolov scenario but he's a little younger. Low cost of course which is worth a shot.

 

Also allows the team to move Kreider or Smith for picks or prospects that might not be quite ready.

 

Grew up in Staten Island, 33rd overall pick in 2019, 6;2" 210 lbs, unsure of grit factor but can play RW or LW, like you said can't be any worse
