Although there hasn't been an Arthur Kaliyev trade, the Los Angeles Kings are still trying to get it done. According to the Fourth Period, a handful of teams are interested in acquiring the young forward.
The teams listed are the Dallas Stars, Montreal Canadiens, San Jose Sharks, Buffalo Sabres, and Ottawa Senators, most of which are rebuilding teams except the Stars, who could use him as a secondary scorer.
The three teams that make sense for Kaliyev's services are the Sharks, Senators, and Sabres. All of these are teams trying to transition into playoff contenders, and Kailyev could have the chance to play in their top six.
The Sharks are trying to surround their first-overall picks, Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith, with NHL talent that can help progress their careers and put them in a winning environment. Acquiring Kaliyev may cost the Sharks a draft pick or a prospect, but fast-tracking their team's development may be worth it.
The Senators and Sabres are in the same situation where their teams are on the cusp of playoff contention, but it may require a few other secondary scoring pieces to get it done. Kaliyev has 30-goal-per-season potential in the NHL; the right change of scenery could bring out the best in him.
