Kaliyev was recalled to the taxi squad from AHL Ontario, Lisa Dillman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Kings are shuffling around their roster, and Kaliyev will add depth at forward for the time being. The 19-year-old is expected to spend most of his time in juniors once the OHL season begins. The 2019 second-round pick (33rd overall) posted 44 goals and 54 assists over 57 games with OHL Hamilton last year.

Kings GM Rob Blake said Wednesday that Kaliyev isn't expected to play more than seven NHL games this year, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blake left open the possibility that Kaliyev could play a few games at the top level. However, playing more than seven games would burn a year of Kaliyev's entry-level contract, something that Blake isn't likely to entertain. In turn, he'll either return to OHL Hamilton or be assigned to AHL Ontario. Kaliyev posted 44 goals and 54 assists over 57 games with Hamilton last year.

Kaliyev penned a three-year, entry-level contract with Los Angeles on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaliyev will get every opportunity to earn his way onto the 23-man roster in training camp ahead of the 2020-21 campaign, otherwise, he will need to return to juniors for the upcoming season given his age. In 57 appearances for OHL Hamilton this year, the winger notched 44 goals and 54 helpers and needed just two more points to reach the 100-point mark for the second straight season.

Kaliyev and the Kings are working to finalize the details of an entry-level contract, according to general manager Rob Blake, Kings beat writer John Hoven reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Blake, the team needs to finalize the details of Kaliyev's development plan, as the winger is ineligible to play in the AHL and will need to either make the team's 23-man roster or return to juniors. In 57 appearances for OHL Hamilton this year, the 18-year-old registered 44 goals and 54 helpers and was just two points shy of the 100-point mark. Given the Kings' depth concerns, it wouldn't be a shock to see Kaliyev make the 23-man roster for Opening Night of the 2020-21 campaign.

Kaliyev scored four goals in OHL Hamilton's 4-1 victory over Erie on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The big winger accounted for all of his club's goals in addition to a quarter (six) of their shots on net in his breakout contest. Kaliyev now has eight goals and 15 points in his first eight games for the Bulldogs. Kaliyev fell out of the first round this past June (33rd overall) due to concerns regarding his lack of speed and the fact he is viewed by many as a one-dimensional player, but you can count on one hand the amount of prospects in the league who are as adept at putting the puck in the net as the big Staten Islander.
