Kaliev is a very good scorer who needs another team.
LA is too deep and I think bit frustrated by Kaliev's lack of two-way game.
That said - he's got good hands and good nose for the net.
60pts: 50/50 shot that he will do it once btw age 25-30.
Krebs is a player I follow closely. He is a VERY smart hockey player.
But... he's also a player whose passing/shot was two levels above WHL competition, one level above AHL competition, and zero levels above NHL competition.
IF... IF... he ever plays with a very gifted sniper, he might do 60pts.
But I think more his roll will be similar to a guy like Philip Danault.
He's going to be a "net positive" player - and coaches will love that - but his fantasy-value will be very "meh".
If he happens to end up on a talent-starved team, he might get the minutes to do 60pts.
But there's simply more talented "hands" players on most NHL teams.
60pts: 10% chance during ages 25-30
50pts: 60% chance per year, during ages 25-30 (ie 3 out of 5 season, I expect him to do 50s-ish points)
I really think he will have "some" serviceable game and be in the NHL for 15 years.
But I think Danault-ish or Mikael Backlund-ish
[***as an aside: If... If... an NHL decided... I think they could shift him to wing and get a very creative scorer. I think Krebs' game would be very different on wing... and yes, 60pt-ish. But he's very focused on his two-way game... and that probably pulls 30%-50% of his offensive creativity off his offensive decision-making. He is very, very hesitant to lose puck possession with a crafty stick-handling move or risky-pass. He's "safe", because he knows he has to mark the opposing 3rd forward.]

The other three guys, nah, 2% chance at 60pts.
There's always a chance that somebody Cheechoo-s or KevinStevens into a beauty roll.
And there's 60pts if you saddle up with a McDavid/Draisaitl. for. some. reason.
But I believe the NHLe from AHL-->NHL is about 0.6.
So a guy needs to put up point-per-game in the AHL just to fall into a shot at 60pts in NHL.
And Beckman (good shot, nothing else), Poulin (lots of meh), and Chmelevski (suspect all-around game) just didn't cut it in AHL.
They aren't NHL players except to spot-fill when teams have injuries or rebuilds.
Forget those guys if you have hope on 60pts.
Of those three... if you are throwing a dart... I'd go with Chmelevski - who is at least building confidence playing big minutes in KHL.
He's not "Russian" - despite the name - so he very well could be back to USA in a year or two.
