Arthur Kaliyev - Picked up off waiversKaliyev was claimed off waivers by the Rangers from the Kings on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.ImpactKaliyev effectively serves as a replacement for Kappo Kakko -- a young, high-potential winger -- after the Rangers traded Kakko to the Kraken in mid-December. Selected by the Kings with the 33rd pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, the 23-year-old Kaliyev has struggled to produce this season with just 15 points in 51 games -- well behind the pace he set last season when he generated 13 goals and 15 helpers in 56 outings. While Kaliyev figures to start in a bottom-six role with the Rangers, he could push for more opportunities if he can get his offensive game going.
