As a Kings fan, I was very excited when they snagged Kaliyev in the 2nd round (2019) but have been quite upset at how they’ve handled his development. I think they bungled this one big time, and it leaves them with very few successes (Byfield, Anderson, Spence) from a once-vaunted pipeline.

[@mitchelsullivan3118]

I think Mikey Anderson's key to development success has more with going to UMD for college. It seems if it's a forward whoever comes outta there plays with a good defensive side

[@joebarr725]

As a Kings fan, I think Dubois needs a change of scenery.

[@SaulmanPhishbass]

@@joebarr725 As a Kings fan, so can Rob Blake and Luc Robitaille

[@CoolHandRobb]

I think Kaliyev was all potential and his strength was his shot which hasn't looked dangerous since the world juniors. Not sure if the Kings bungled his development or if he was never going to be that good of a player. Trevor Lewis wasn't drafted to be bottom 6 guy but he made adjustments to become an everyday nhler. Not sure Kaliyev was willing to do the work to be more than his shot.

[@cheericoke2484]

Well if it helps he always Pans out at an elite forward when I take him expansion franchise mode

[@yelling3874]

Broberg has a slot pencilled in the Oilers' lineup for next season, the question is just who gets paired with him. Ceci's play has been so rough over the past 12 months that I can't see a future where he's an Oiler this fall. I think they will probably start the year running Nurse/Bouchard, Broberg/Ekholm, Kulak/Desharnais (which was the plan last fall, before Ekholm got injured and their season tried to go off the rails).

[@cbjm36]

I’m biased as a CBJ fan, but I think we would be a great place for some of these guys to come to as reclamation projects. We saw what could happen with Alex Nylander when he came here. Would personally love for the Jackets to take a shot at getting Alex Turcotte.

[@FalseNi9e]

I completely agree!

[@redrangers12330]

Also since the team sucks there are more opportunities for these guys to play and get ice time

[@BLACKHAWKS2023]

Yeah like Boqvist!

[@oggamer735]

Name one player that have come from CBJ system either drafted or just pretty fresh and have flourish? I can’t name a single one. Ofc most important for young players are the right coaching staff and that they can get icetime they need. When torts was in Columbus they had zero chance. And it has been the same basicly from the start to this day. CBJ is not the right place for young players at least now maybe if they would change the staff. Only thing good is that they could get the icetime because the team sucks but then again theyre high drafted young players should be better and have that playtime now.

[@cbjm36]

@@oggamer735 well, they did change the staff so your point is moot

[@drewruff410]

Nils Lundkvist comes to mind but I’m not sure if he needs a change of scenery or just needs to stop being trash defensively.

[@_nickyboy1008_]

No he’s just bad. He got the change of scenery already 😂

[@surfinthedog3435]

That’s the main reason why the rags traded him… asides from his request

[@heathclark318]

As a Stars fan, even with our dire need for RHD, he is not going to fit. He is good offensively, but defensively weak and small for the NHL. He will get 0 PP time with Miro and Harley. Was a horrible trade when it was made and worse now. If it was Kakko or Schneider I would have been alright with it. He is dangled as trade bait with moves needing to be made.

[@alexwinfield9540]

​@@_nickyboy1008_ a change of scenery to a different league would probably be good

[@wingshockeyfan]

I think Berggren fits in nicely for Sprong I don't think you loose anything and I believe his upside is higher.

[@redrangers12330]

If Laffy turned it around as soon as Gallant left, then kakko doesn’t have much of an excuse for his play

[@themacud]

As someone living in Winnipeg, Rasmus Kupari needs to go to a rebuilding team like Anaheim to get an actual NHL chance imo. Winnipeg already has an insane forward prospect pool with Barlow, Chibrikov, Lambert, Lucius, and Torgersson, I don't know if he's ever gonna crack the NHL here

[@jokurajunimi]

It pains me to say this but I dont think there is a NHL forward in Kupari

[@boreddingercity]

I’m also from Winnipeg and I think kupari is a pretty good player, he is really fast but only had one assist in like 30 games

[@boreddingercity]

Also with henola he would have been on the team this year but he got injured really bad in the preseason

[@leerotten]

Absolutely agree with this one. I'd love to see them in another team, all of these. Kakko and Filip specially. Remember Forsling? Reject in most teams but used right. WOW. Heinola also a great pick on the list. I don't honest get it why the Jets who have zero use for him traded him ages ago for like 900th round pick. Obvious he is never going to play with the NHL team. Slightest mishap and he's AHL.

[@oscarisaksson1028]

Detroit's treatment of Jonathan Berggren this past (for Detroit) has been an absolute disgrace.

[@jean-philippedoyon9904]

The 3 forwards on that list...Welcome to Montréal ! They fit perfectly with what Kent Hugues is looking for in a trade, player close to develop and forgotten projects from their team who would thrive in St-Louis system. Kakko is probably the most likely to move to Montréal on that list both because he was drafted by Gorton and is a lot like Dach...a forgotten project !

[@Jackjmichigan]

I think that Erik Branstrom from Ottawa needs a new home. He once was valued very high and he can play all over the ice. This year he was playing in the rush much more as well as forward. I think a team like Montreal or New York would maybe put him back on track. Kakku for Branstrom? I think Ottawa would give him a great place to start over.

[@HaydenHallett95]

Great vid! I personally would have added Nick Robertson on this list. He is a guy who has had alot of injuries as well. When he had played he is given 4th line mins mostly and is a regular healthy scratch.

[@scottnance2200]

Kakko should go to Washington. The Caps desperately need more scoring, and Spencer Carberry has a real gift for bringing out the potential of young players.

[@victorswiatkowski2506]

I just wanna say, your videos are awesome! Please never get those sports betting ads!

[@OhNyquist]

Appreciate you! And I never will trust me, just not something I can get behind.

[@maguirebentz797]

With Vinny now gone and how the finals shaped up, I could see broberg doing well next year but who knows

[@frozenrabbit5641]

4:20 Blackhawks would sound really good for Kakko.

[@nersharific813]

I’m a Sabres fan, and as much as I’d like to see Peyton Krebs stay on the Sabres and develop, I just can’t see him getting enough ice time next season, especially with all of the great forward prospects that the team has, so it might be best for him get more ice time on a team early in its rebuild.

[@danevertt3210]

I like Krebs. I hope he can pick up the production

[@chloemchll3774]

I may be alone among my fandom’s members, but I don’t want the Rangers to give up on Kakko. He reminds me a lot of two other young players we ultimately gave up- J.T. Miller and Pavel Buchnevich. Both Miller and Buchnevich had a hard time establishing themselves offensively in terms of point production, but both were good (much like Kakko is) at controlling the puck and driving the play in the offensive zone. Aside from the Trocheck-Panarin-Lafreniere line, the line that looked consistently acceptable against both Carolina and especially against Florida was the Wennberg-Kakko-Cullye line, which at least managed to play in the offensive zone on a good percentage of their shifts and never looked outmatched in the defensive zone. My attitude toward Kakko mostly comes down to his still being young, his doing lots of other things besides scoring quite well, and that ultimately, even if he never gets better than he is right now, he is a useful 3rd line forward who may ultimately develop into more of a defensive weapon than an offensive one. He should be relatively cheap to resign (he’s an RFA but coming off this down year I suspect he will not be hard to resign) and have him compete for the spot alongside Kreider and Zibenijad, but I won’t be upset if his ultimate usage next year is on the 3rd line. I’m also concerned that trading him now would be trading him at the low point of his value. Even if the Rangers decide to move on, it would make sense for them to bring him back to start the year and show that he can be a solid player if given more opportunity. Laviolette told Kakko that he thinks one of his failures as a coach this year was not unlocking Kakko’s potential, so I think it is fair to say that some of the Rangers decision-makers still have high hopes for Kakko.

[@frogfire3036]

Broberg has been playing great in the playoffs from the couple of games he has played

[@mariovaccarella6854]

Great Video, as usual, Nyquist.

[@princechickenwings2746]

I think Samuel Bolduc 23YO Defenseman in the Isles he has had some playing time none really consistent this season and with the Islanders having a few left handed Defenseman coming up in the pipeline like Calle Odulleus and Isaiah George i think he can use a change to a team that can give him a shot

[@brandonfedor283]

Wish MTL would snag kaliyev and or kakko while the value is at a low

[@elspicytortillas7306]

I’ve been wishing MTL get Kakko ! He fits perfectly the MTL time line, he will get top 6 mins and PP time a second line with Newhook, Dach and Kakko could be an awesome fit for the Habs

[@ubasic]

Gorton drafted him, he could be a good fit and get a spot that allows him to play. I wish we could get Pinto from Ottawa

[@doaftheloaf]

@@ubasic send barron, RHP, and the avs 2nd this year. if kakko doesn't find his offense with us, he'll still be a useful defensive player on L3. if he does find his offense, so much the better. this year, he'd be battling for that L2 spot with joshua roy. i think we should do it, this is a low risk move.

[@redrangers12330]

As a rangers fan, I think he’s got a good shot but is a liability whenever he isn’t actively shooting the puck

[@avroeh9547]

as a oilers fan, I rather not see broberg not being traded, his small sample size in the playoffs has been not great but also not bad, rather have ceci on the go and have vinny w/ nurse and kulak broberg

[@memphissander3512]

maybe move kakko for one of the post lottery picks

[@SpartanNation112]

Kappo Kakko to Dallas, please make it happen Jim nill!

[@Z666Man666]

As a NYR fan, I agree kakko needs to be traded. Idk where but I want him to succeed. He can be so strong on the puck and good entering the zone and driving the net.

[@lettuce329]

Sam Poulin. The penguins need him but he doesn’t need us

[@hockey_all_star5895]

As a leafs fan I really really don’t want to lose Nick Robertson but I can definitely see an elite talent waiting to be unleashed in him, he either needs to be traded to succeed (please no) or needs a more permanent look in the top 6 on the leafs

[@ItsJared___]

He’s probably a better option in the playoffs than Marner

[@hockey_all_star5895]

@@ItsJared___ legit, Robertson was showing way more heart in the playoffs this year than Marner, he gets paid 11 mil to sulk on the bench and needs a teammate to tell him to stop crying 💀, Keefe didn’t like playing Robertson, hopefully berube will use his brain

What about jack Durry of the Carolina Hurricanes.

[@sixty8ight]

McClellan screwed over Kaliyev. a real shame, he could be a super sniper.

[@CertifiedBenchwarmer]

Vlasic for boqvist

[@mitchelsullivan3118]

[@mitchelsullivan3118]

@@yelling3874 they're gonna be in a cap crunch. Most likely dealing Kulak will save them over a mil and put in broberg. I don't know who would fill in for ceci but I don't think they'll keep him.

Tweener dmen, so many tweener dmen.

[@brianvanwyk6817]

Cody glass

[@FirewagonHockey]

Josh Norris can certainly benefit from a change of scenery too. He's just gotten worse after every injury and isn't worth 8M AAV anymore. It's probs best he goes on a rebuilding team where his talents will serve great purpose and so he gets all the opportunities in the world to revive his career.

[@jred1817]

Pretty sure Ottawa is still in their rebuild bud

[@FirewagonHockey]

@@jred1817 I judge a team's roster on paper to determine if they're still rebuilding. There's not rlly a place for him to be here anymore. Best we part ways with him as soon as he's healthy again.

[@t2av159]

Marner

[@treeguy92smith90]

Kakko for Berggren would be fun.

[@chloemchll3774]

Watching the video I had a similar thought, although I have no idea if a 1-1 trade for them actually makes sense in terms of their relative value right now. Berggren sounds like he might be, stylistically, a better fit for the Rangers line with Kreider and Zibenijad, as Kakko is not really a playmaker and that’s the sort of forward the line needs to compliment the shoot-happy tendencies that both Zibenijad and Kreider have. Not entirely sure how Kakko fits in Detroit, but I’d imagine they could give him more opportunity than he will likely get in NY, especially in terms of power play time.

[@bansheerie4537]

"Various different reasons" is excessive ;) Otherwise, great content as always, thanks.

[@Veopoz]

Kappo Kakko

Who need a new environment? 90% of all European players

[@GromitMug_]

Rangers fan here, kakko has been mad frustrating for sure. Especially with the big step from laf. In terms of what I think happens I think he is given a 1 year deal .800-1mil or is involved in a trade with the ducks for vatrano

[@elroycreswell9991]

Kakko for Strome maybe, definitely not for vatrano though

[@kiker0909]

I said Kako was overrated when everyone was giving him double wristers at the world juniors his draft year. Sure he'll make a great depth player but he's not top 6.

[@JaredLS10]

Jeff Petry needs a change of scenery, he's still young....right?

[@jean-philippedoyon9904]

I'd say Joe Veleno and Barret Hayton fit in that list...they really need another team to develop !

[@higherground9888]

This run has been Phil Broberg's coming out party. After Vincent Desharnais went down in game 3 vs LA, Broberg stepped in seamlessly and even put up a point or two. He's staying. It's Ceci or Kulak that's gone.

[@Emil62003]

[@ryangillis4215]

Nick Robertson could at the very least. 22 yrs old, been dicked around for last 3 yrs by leafs, always plays well then gets sent down again. His brother Jason is a superstar in Dallas. Nick was on a 20 goal pace with Leafs this year, despite playing low minutes and being called up and sent down multiple times. Give the kid a chance

[@r4phaelmaestro229]

Sorry for the dumb question but i'm new to hockey: Why cant you convert an offensive defenseman to a forward If they struggle on defense? Its pretty common in football (you call it soccer)

[@ajathebest]

It is mainly due to the fact that the positions require different skill sets. So an offensive defenseman is good offensively when compared to other defensemen but if its a struggling offensive defenseman they most likely don’t have the offensive talent to be a forward

[@higherground9888]

​@@ajathebestSome have. And vice versa. But it's not very often done for the reasons above.

[@TheChronicFiend]

The blackhawks did it with Byfuglien and it was a sucess!And brett burns was a forward at first!

[@Cedisdead]

It's generally easier for a defenseman to convert to offensive then vice versa. In football it's more common overall but you rarely see a striker become a defender either

[@ubasic]

Florida has a few players that have turned into key pieces, I'm sure some on this list can be better on other teams. Great vid for a Habs fan, as our rebuild includes a development program I believe will help players reach their goals

[@MattHockeyGuy]

being entirely honest, as a sharks fan, if I were mike grier, I wouldn't pay more than a 3rd for kakko. If even that

[@jean-christofbourdeau8601]
