The New York Rangers have officially claimed forward Arthur Kaliyev off waivers from the Los Angeles Kings, bolstering their roster ahead of the upcoming season. Kaliyev, a 23-year-old winger known for his offensive skills, has been a promising player since being selected 33rd overall by the Kings in the 2019 NHL Draft. He recorded 12 goals and 16 assists in 45 games last season. “We are excited to bring Arthur into our organization and believe he can contribute to our team’s success,” said Rangers General Manager Chris Drury. The move comes as the Rangers look to fill gaps in their offense. Meanwhile, speculation surrounding the Ottawa Senators considering a claim for Kaliyev was confirmed as the Senators ultimately decided against it. The transaction marks a significant change for Kaliyev as he prepares to adapt to his new team and fans in New York, following the Kings’ decision to place him on waivers earlier this month, reportedly in an effort to create additional cap space.
