Confirmed Signing with Link: [EDM] Dominik Kahun signs with the Oilers (1 year, $975K)

[Jumptheshark]

I think he has one of the strangest trade patterns over the last few years

Hawks trade him to the Pens for Olli Matta--make sense--Hawks needed a PMD
Pens then flip him to the sabres to get Conor Sheary back--okay makes sense but then the Sabres let him walk for nothing

that last part confuses me--can sabres fans explain it to me?

Over a 30 game sample size. No doubt its an elite line but the best line in the league is reserved for a couple other lines that have maintained their pace for a couple of seasons.

Honestly I won't be shocked if they become the best line in the league - I just think that title is reserved until they prove it over an entire season. Dont care how many Oiler fans want to twist that up.

I don’t know why any Oiler fan would disagree with your posting as it is a honest posting. 30 games just isn’t enough . The great lines prove it season after season .

Where is oilerbear? I need to see why Kahun is better than Mackinnon.

Who is Kahun and why is there 15 pages

Don't blame everyone else for your lack of hockey knowledge. Most fans in this forum will know every 4th liner in the league.

Kahun is a middle 6 winger with upside and a possibility to hit 50 pts.

Yeah, tbh I don't really care about hockey much anymore. Yet here I am lol

Now this is a great post.

Lol alright. He costs 975k.

Daryl Katz uses at least that amount to wipe his ass.

Even if he plays 3rd and 4th, its not a bad move.

Ennis proved he can play up. Maybe JP explodes.

Either way, we still win.

Nose you mean. Wipe his nose.

 

[North Cole]

Well since both those players combined can barely put up 40 points a year, Edmonton is still a 2 player team.

Lol, Im sorry. What exact production are you expecting from third line players?

...do Canadians call DVRs PVRs?

PVR stores files on a hard drive, and you can keep these for as long as you want. A DVR temporarily stores files on a smaller hard drive, and if you want to keep the files you need to burn them onto an external source such as a DVD.

Probably the best signing in the past 8 years.

I'm not a Sabres fan but from what I gather, they were concerned about how his arbitration was going to go, and wanted the cap space for other things (or just save cash).

His QO was only 2 million but the arbitration could have been for a lot more.

I'll admit it is possible that there is an issue with the player, but I doubt it. He's just a middling player, not exactly a "core" player. So they are often expendable.

Time will tell... There is always Tobias Rieder.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

No line better than Kog-Mackinnon-Rantanen right now.

This line has way more to prove before being the best line in the league.

Landenskog was on the 2nd with Kadri was he not?

Either way Colorado, Boston, Tampa all can roll elite lines. DRY line would have to do it a full season to be classified the best in my book.

He refused offers from Sabres according to the rumour mill. Wanted more than his 2 million QO and wanted to go arbitration for more. Sabres had negotiated for a while. Sabres then signed Hall and moved on having spent a wad. Of course we do not know if any of this is close to accurate.

Great deal for the Oilers. Kahun is a quality 2-way 3rd liner, who can probably do fine on the 2nd line if that’s where the Oilers deploy him. A bit of a steal at $975K.

Arguably the 3rd best winger on the Oilers?

1. Nuge (I’m assuming we continue to see Drai primarily at C, Nuge primarily at W)
2. Yamamoto
3. Kahun-or-Kassian
4. Kahun-or-Kassian
5. ... Ennis maybe? Starts getting real sketchy here

 

[deckercky]

Great deal for the Oilers. They've added a ton of solid depth this offseason. Probably the most complete roster in the Canadian division.

[The Moose is Loose]

As an Oiler fan I agree more time is needed before the DRY line can be crowned the best line in hockey. But they’re a strong contender to earn that title by the end of this coming season.

There are times I feel too smart for this world. In times like these, I'll visit Calgary Puck to dumb down.

 

[Flyer lurker]

EDM maybe smartest team this offseason in taking advantage of depth forwards that are dirt cheap. Oilers fan after seeing moves I hope would agree letting AA go and using cap the depth was the way to go.

 

[Seanaconda]

As an Oilers fan, That BOS line is nuts. Just dominate when I watch them.

They have the same problem as the Oilers did when they always kept mcdrai together. Maybe even worse because the Oilers put hopkins on second if they do that , they keep trying to move pasta down but the line only works the way it does with their top three forwards on the same line.


If the oilers played their pp line of hopkins McDavid drai all year it would be better and insane.
