Hamal said he rejected the Sabres’ contract offer as “not being good enough.” He said, the Sabres elected to not issue Kahun a minimum offer, knowing the player had the potential to get a better deal should he take the team to arbitration.
Sounds like he is going to go for cash.

Kahun signs with Pens 1 year
Sheary signs with Sabres 1 year
Trade at the TD for eachother again...

You shut your harlot mouth! If Sheary is on the Sabres again they’re behind the Leafs in “NHL teams I like”.

He’s 25 and arbitration eligible.
He p,Ayer a season for Chicago, most of season with Pittsburgh, thrn a few games with buffalo.
He likely wanted a long contract at $3M+. Buffalo hasn’t seen much of him and offered a 1 yr $1.5M contract and he said no.
Buffalo also may trade
Montour for a winger/center
And Miller for a LD
Thrn look to sign a top 9 forward
Long term buffalo is looking at top 9 players as
Echel
Skinner
Olofsson
Reinhart
Cozens
A player they sign/acquire this offseason
1 yr from now
Mittlestadt
Quinn
THey can fill roster with shorter term.

I'm so sick of watching crappy hockey players play crappy hockey.

Sabres got to keep this player in my opinion. If they get it done another way then great, but Kahun shouldn't be that expensive for what he can bring to the team.
It's guys like him who the Sabres have been lacking in recent years. Good depth players that can play up and down in the lineup.

They can still sign him before UFA starts.
It’s likely they didn’t want yo play with arbitration and wanted to negotiate
In Chicago he was 13-34-37 in 82 and in buffalo/Pittsburgh it was 12-19-32 in 56 games.
69 in 138
A 0.5 ppg player
He could get $3.5M+in arbitration. Buffalo probably wants him around $2.25M
Say for olofsson, Reinhart, and Ullmark is around $12M combined
Buffalo thrn is based on cap friendly
8/5/2 with $20M in space
Cozens on team
CJ Smith is 14F
Borgen is 3RD
11/6/2 with $17M in space
Montour RFA could be traded for a F around same money $3.5M
Miller as one of 6D could be traded for a bottom LD a little cheaper
Use one of their ELCs as 4th liner who is under $1M in that vacated space gained from Miller trade. Or if they sign Kahun for $2M which costs a $1m more.
So 13/7/2 with about $14M in space
They have space to be a player in teams unloading higher contracts.

No, they don't.
Botterill is no longer GM, Adams is at the helm now, new GM, new game plan. Nothing shocking really.
Decent player? Yea, he's ok, nothing spectacular, but a serviceable 3/4 line guy.

I certainly hope Adams' plan isn't to plug the middle 6 with shitty players.

A ppg rate..more like mid $3M+
Buffalo is likely looking for 1 yr prove it st $2M or so.
I’d hope this means they have a deal in the works and felt qualifying him wouldn’t be necessary because they had a deal on the cusp of agreement?

Oilers should be all over this. I bet Leon is in Hollands ear already, these two grew up and played together.
Part of the first wave of German to hit the NHL in the last while.
I’ve like Kahun for awhile this is a bit perplexing.

Why would you want Kahun playing with Leon? Kahun would bring Leon down. Kahun is a 3rd line player at best, and I'm a fan of Kahun. I would never want him playing with Eichel.
Pretty harsh take.
I don´t know if I would play Kahun with Leon either, but that's only a chemistry thing.
Kahun so far:
138 NHL games
0.49 PPG
+18
only 14 PIM
50 % more takeaways than giveaways
All of this with only 13 min TOI.
Just a very smart player overall. Not a game-breaker, but pretty much perfect depth for any contender imo.

Why in the world would he sign with them before tomorrow?
He didn't like their offer and they don't even want to pay him what arbitration would award or make an offer that might come close to that. At this point it's clear he wants more than they want to offer. Might as well go to free agency.

He's played 138 games and he is 25 years old, on his third team after getting benched then traded by Pitt.
It's not like he is a .5 PPG player at 22 years old on an entry level deal.
Kahun has been with 3 teams now and there seems to be a consensus on what he can bring. A guy that can play around 13 minutes of even strength on the 3rd line and put up 35 points. There just seems to be a lot of those guys in the NHL, almost too many.
No, it can do to arbitration for much more and for two years. Depending on $ amount, Sabres could also not walk away.

Ya, what isn't talked about too much is this year would be the 2nd year of lower revenue as I don't imagine a lot of money was made in the 2019-20 season.
