He will be gone most likely by the time the Habs are up

Arthur Kaliyev, LW, Hamilton-OHL

June 26, 2001 | 6-foot-2 | 190 pounds

Skating: 50
Puck Skills: 55
Physical Game: 50
Hockey Sense: 65
Shot Grade: 60

Kaliyev lit up the OHL this season, as one of the few modern-day OHL players to score 50 goals as a 17-year-old. He’s one of the best goal-scorers in the CHL and often had more than 10 shot attempts in a game. He’s not going to go bar down that often, but his shot is an absolute rocket, and if goalies are not in position, they won’t have time to adjust once he lets it go. Kaliyev is also a very good playmaker who makes high-end plays. Those 50 goals were complemented with 50 assists. Due to his shot and vision, he’s an absolute weapon on the man advantage who can run a unit and pick apart defenses. He’s skilled but Kaliyev isn’t a player who can go end-to-end. He skates OK, but the main criticism of his game is his pace and compete. Kaliyev can often look like he’s not going that hard and will have long stretches of indifference. With that said, even in the many games where he looks like he’s doing nothing, you’ll check the box score and see one goal and two points. Thus the question is whether his style of play will translate to the NHL pace. He’s one of the most divisive prospects in this year’s draft.

Vince Laise, the acting coach of the Hamilton Bulldogs, on Kaliyev: “Arthur is one of the most dynamic players I’ve coached in the OHL in my six years here. I coached Dylan Strome and Alex DeBrincat. In my opinion, Arthur is just as good a player as either of those two. Arthur has the ability to find the back of the net just as those two did at the same age. They differ in play styles, but all achieve what NHL organizations look for. Arthur is more than just a power play producer, his underlying value is his ability to produce at even strength and his playmaking. He’s been as coachable as they come and a pleasure to work with.”

Hopefully Vasili Podkolzin is still on the board when the Habs draft, he could be a steal. He has two years left on his KHL contract with SKA

Frenchy...full scouting report on this rusky?

He has the whiff of Jake Virtanen to me. Just going on the WJC and U18's. Physical guy and a real hard worker, but outside of a few flashes, the "top 5" skills don't seem to show up too much.

no way Roy wants to work with Dorion and Melnyk

PKP will buy the Sens and Hira Roy as GM/Coach.


Then move them to QC

PKP is probably one of the reasons why there isn't a team yet in QC
