We forget that Kaleta is a fast skater, defensively sound, eager to go to the net and get dirty in the corners, an ideal pest, an excellent PK man, and has enough skill to score goals. There are not very many players like this on the roster, when the team actually needs more of this type.
He is a prototypical Ted Nolan player, and a loyal warrior for his team mates and, perhaps most importantly, the fans.
He's also reckless and prone to mental lapses. His body has suffered from his game.
I wish he stays around long enough to pass on his passion to the new guys as they come up. I just don't see that happening right now.
