We indeed have waiver action in the National Hockey League this Sunday afternoon, and it involves the young forward Arthur Kaliyev.
The Hockey News specifically mentioned that Kaliyev was a priority target for Montreal.
Here, the Canadiens would have the chance to acquire Kaliyev for free.
Arthur Kaliyev placed on waivers, and we must monitor the Montreal Canadiens in this matter
Here are the confirmations:
Kent Hughes now has a decision to make on offense: claim or not claim Kaliyev?
He could replace Michael Pezzetta in Martin St-Louis' lineup and has excellent offensive potential.
"The Los Angeles Kings have placed Arthur Kaliyev on waivers in the National Hockey League."
Kaliyev, 23 years old, is a 6-foot-2, 210-pound forward.
He was the 33rd overall pick by the Los Angeles Kings in 2019 and has accumulated 71 points in 188 games in the NHL, including 35 goals.
He also recorded 33 points in 45 games in the American Hockey League after amassing 200 points, including 124 goals, in his last two seasons in the OHL.
Will he make it to the Montreal Canadiens based on the waiver priority order?
One thing is certain, this is a winger who could become a very interesting project.
Details to follow.
