KYLE CALDER

This season: 65 games, 7 goals, 13 assists, minus-11 rating.

Positives: Gone are the days when Calder was considered a potential 30-goal scorer. He’s now known as an energy-line winger, a guy who can mix it up and contribute some offense. To that end, the Kings pretty much got what they expected. Calder played 65 games and totaled only 18 penalty minutes.

Negatives: It’s quite a stretch to say the Kings got their money’s worth. There are a lot of players out there who can score 20 points and play on the energy line who DON’T earn almost $3 million per season. The Kings were hoping for a rebound from last season, when Calder totaled 35 points in 78 games. That was considered a down year, but he went even lower this year.

Looking ahead: Calder is a serviceable winger, but the Kings overpaid for him and they’ve got him for one more season. Perhaps being a contract year will spark him to put up bigger numbers, but he seems unlikely to ever approach his career high of 26 goals. Calder has a defined role as an energy-line winger, if he can stay healthy.

Contract situation: Signed through 2008-09 (cap number of $2.7 million next season).
