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

[zar]

LETS GO

Nuge - Mcdavid - Kassian
Kahun - Drai - Yamo
Ennis - Turris - Pulju
Neal - Khaira - Archibald
Haas

That’s a damn good forward group babyyy

Not sure Kahun is a 2nd line guy, but they might try him with his buddy, Drai.

He's a perfect fit on the 3rd line though. A 3rd line or Kahun-Turris-Puljujarvi is miles better than any 3rd line we have seen on the Oilers in about 15 years.

 

[McTonyBrar]

No they don't.

Have you seen Yamamoto and RNH play or are you just being biased?

Give him a try with Leon and Yam. RNH can go with McDavid and Kassian. That would be sick. I'm still surprised at this (IF it has happened)

 

[Drew311]

4th line is meh.

3rd line is worse.

69th in scoring over the last few years . First line has 93 forwards in the NHL . Also with Draisaitl or McDavid as his centre I am sure his production would go up .

Also his agent is reporting it along with Buffalo news

3rd line is worse.

How so?

It's basically official:

Again, this was easy to call once he started following some Oilers on social networks.


Haha to anyone who said it was a bogus connection.

 

[jcbeze]

Who a player follows on instagram qualifies as speculation?

Seems like a massive reach by whoever that rando twitter guy is.

Someone was wrong....

 

[SupremeTeam16]

They were tied with Philly for most goals/game once Draisaitl moved to his own line (final 30 games) and upgraded Sheahan/AA with Turris/Kahun this offseason. I'd say they look pretty good on paper right now.

Also have Puljujarvi in the mix too. Ennis as well and Benson will be pushing for a spot.
They’ve got depth and flexibility up front now. Turris to Sheahan for only an additional 400K cap wise is huge. Him and Kahun will help push 5on5 secondary scoring.

It's basically official:

At least it's not Jason Gregor after the whole Lucic fiasco.

[McIce Whole]

Friedman and Rishaug reporting it’ll be announced tomorrow as well. Huge add for us, Kahun reunited with Drai.

 

[Seachd]

Thiß iß very good newß for the Oilerß.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Excellent was hoping for this signing

A full year of Yamamoto and Ennis will be big too

 

[threeVo]

Because they signed Taylor Hall and he doesn’t fit into their lineup?

 

[MMC]

 

[GreeningOil]

Dang! Watch him put up 47 points on line 2. That would be HUGE for us.

 

[Skolman]

Beauty!

 

[Chabot84]

Oilers = playoffs this year!!!

 

[hockeynorth]

Wolves fan here...

Kahuns awesome, as soon as I saw he was going to be a FA I went damn I hope Toronto could nab him for cheap, but he'd be perfect in Edmonton, I hoped he land in one of the two. I hope he plays with Drai.

 

[ClydeLee]

He doesn't fit in the lineup seems to be the thought about moving him for each team that's moved on.

Yet they also aren't too good without or with him. Hes just the type of guy you think you have a prospect that can do what he does, but probably don't

Meh, low risk high reward. Kahun's competition for a top 6 spot is Ennis, Kassian, Neal and Chiasson.
