Kings Rumors: 3 Trade Destinations for Arthur Kaliyev


It is quite clear that forward Arthur Kaliyev could use a change of scenery. The young winger has good potential, but given how this season went for him, it seems that he isn't in the long-term plans of the Los Angeles Kings. Because of this, let's discuss three potential landing spots for him.

Montreal Canadiens: The Montreal Canadiens are in a position to take a chance on a young forward with upside like Kaliyev. He is still young enough where he may not only bounce back but take another step forward in his development. With the Habs rebuilding, they stand out as a prime possible landing spot. 

Philadelphia Flyers: The Philadelphia Flyers are another team that could be interested in a player like Kaliyev. There's no question that their top nine could use a boost, and Kaliyev would give them that if he regains his previous form. 

St. Louis Blues: The St. Louis Blues could be a nice landing spot for Kaliyev. He would have the chance to play bigger minutes there and would also be a clear candidate for power play time. Along with that, he also would fit into their current retool.
