This implies his usage at home is very different from his usage on the road.

At home he starts 32.7% of his shifts on the fly when paired with Edmundson.

On the road he starts 45% of his shifts on the fly when paired with Edmundson.

Huge difference.

Yeah my next question was going to look into the usage/starts. Thank you for doing that for me!

Thanks my man! I'd prefer to be over here, I'll try to do better. It didnt seem as if the LAK base had made its way over but noted!

He wasn't beloved by McLellan/Hiller, especially not trusted defensively. I don't really see any on-ice reasons for that lack of trust; if he was bad defensively in some subtle way it didn't show in chances or goals against that I can see.

Kaliyev has looked pretty good (in per-minute) terms in 187 nhl games despite not playing very many minutes per game. One of those (very common) times where you have to play a player more than you're comfortable in order to find out what you've really got.
