Because Patrick Kaleta is not Matt Barnaby and has no hands. He can't score...he flat out cant, putting him with Vanek and Kennedy is a waste, he's a 4th line checking line guy who dumps the puck in and drives his man through the boards. He wont score 20 points this season, and he wont ever be anything more than a 4th liner. Why is that so difficult for people to accept? He's a checking guy, and does his job well. Leave it at that.

Barnaby played a similar game, but he had hands, he averaged a point every 2.6 games, and that's really good for a 3rd line checking guy, especially in the grab and clutch eras.

I'm so sick of hearing about Kaleta being on the 2nd, and 1st lines, he's just not that guy. Putting a natural goal scorer like Vanek with Kaleta is a waste, because nobody is out there to support him other than Kennedy, who is still a rookie, and can't carry a whole half a line himself.
