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

[sportsfan944804]

Doubt it's a coincidence he started following the Edmonton Oilers and its players. He only started following the team today.

Is this guy legit?

 

[Kranix]

Maybe he just likes the content

 

[themelkman]

Eh he could just like the Drai content cause they are both german

 

[Llamamoto]

Eh he could just like the Drai content cause they are both german

He also followed McDavid and the Oilers though...

It's likely nothing, but I really hope this means we sign him. He'd be a great fit in our middle-6.

 

[PensandCaps]

If true, this is a very good signing for Edmonton. He can hang with Drai.

Top 6 skill.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

One of the players I wasn't happy about the Pens letting go, especially when you consider who they picked up in return. Wish he got more chances in the top six next to Sid or Geno before management decided he didn't have a spot.

Good skill level, smart player. Probably never will be "elite" but a guy who can be a middle six forward who can chip in 40+ points.

 

[Tallasar]

Both played together in the Junior team of the Eagles Mannheim as well on WC! There would be some chemistry.

 

[Boud]

Would be a good add for them, the guy has talent and would round out Edmonton's lineup nicely and he can play up and down their lineup.

 

[Del Preston]

Draisaitl wanted Kahun on the Oilers two years ago and that pinhead Chiarelli chose not to sign him.

 

[SFKingshomer]

Eh he could just like the Drai content cause they are both german

Kahun is from the Czech Republic and the reason Kubalik signed in Chicago.

 

[780il]

Yes pls. Most of the Oilers board, me included, have really wanted to sign from the start.

 

[BonMorrison]

Edmonton looking good up front tbh.

Nugent-Hopkins - McDavid - Kassian
Kahun - Draisaitl - Yamamoto
Ennis - Turris - Puljujarvi
Neal - Khaira - Chiasson

Born in the Czech Republic but grew up in Germany and represents them internationally. He is close with Draisaitl.

 

[jcbeze]

I like how people doubt this means anything


He wouldn't just randomly start following the team and its players. He's definitely signing with them

 

[SFKingshomer]

Ah did not know that.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I hope it's true, he'd be an excellent signing.

 

[McDNicks17]

He moved to Germany when he was 3.

Kahun and Kubalik were likely buddies because they played together in the OHL.

If we do add Kahun, we are officially in "too damn many forwards" territory. Josh Archibald, Joakim Nygard, and Gaetan Haas are all also under NHL one way deals, and Patrick Russell is a coaching staff favourite. Something would have to give. Unless the plan is just to shove two of them through waivers and whatever happens, happens

 

[UnleashRasmus]

This is pointless. He has a Sabre on there too in Tage Thompson, perhaps that he's re-signing?

I feel okay with this.

What the hell alternate reality are we living in?

RNH - McDavid - Kassian
Kahun - Draisaitl - Yamamoto
Ennis - Turris - Puljujarvi
Neal - Khaira - Chiasson

Which line gets the D-Zone starts and matches up against the other team’s scoring lines? What do the two forward PK units look like? Just curious about how this shakes out in the tough assignments areas.

It's all in good fun. Not looking at the players. Just funny that he started following the Edmonton Oilers when he only follows teams he has played for.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

I hope so. Kahun makes a lot of sense.

Kahun is german. He was born in the Czech republic but is german
