Confirmed with Link: Oiler sign Dominik Kahun 1-year/ 975k

[LTIR]

Haha but honestly I dont see Kahun as a lock to go with Drai. It will be tried of course, and maybe those in charge really want Nuge with McDavid. But a great thing about this move is that we have options. Kahun could be a great fit with McDavid. Honestly I think whatever works with McDavid will have priority over what happens to Draisaitls line

Holland after he signed Ennis mentioned how he liked him on Drai line. Kahun will easily beat him out for that spot.
Kahun wasnt brought in for bottom 6 since we have too many bodies already. I think McD calling dibs on Nuge and Kahun/Drai connection made this deal happen.

Signing Ennis also gave him leverage in negotiating with Kahun.

Yup, the well timed "we are done" statement was awesome.

 

[Faelko]

So is he a RFA or UFA after the year?

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Excellent singing, really adds some quality depth to this forward group.

Rammstein cover band?

 

[Nostradumbass]

Wait a f***ing minute here... HE IS STILL AN RFA AFTER THIS CONTRACT WITH AN EXTREMELY LOW QUALIFYING OFFER!

I was against not qualifying AA, but holy shit this more than makes up for it.

Like many others, I think Kahun made a lot of sense for the Oilers to sign. It's nice to have competition for the top-6 winger spots; players should be fighting for the opportunity to play with a superstar center, like McDavid and Draisaitl. We'll see if its true that someone like Kassian plays better when he knows he's being chased from behind from another winger that wants his spot.

Not sure he’ll easily beat him out for the spot. Their production last season was nearly identical.

Honestly though I’m not sure it really matters. The oilers had a hole in their top 9. Kahun helps fill that hole. Whether that is on a 3rd line or 2nd line or maybe even worst. Gives more options to find combos that work.

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

Neat.

But keep DRY together. I'm sure Kahun won't mind playing with McDavid

How much of Kahun did you see when he played for the 'Hawks?

We might see some high profile players get waived when it all plays out. We are almost all counting out Nygard for instance, since there are no spots. But Nygard might have something to say about that

Tyler Benson really needs to cave in the AHL this season and show something in the NHL if he gets the chance. If Kahun fits in like a glove then Benson will need to unseat fellow Edmonton boy Ennis to get into our top 9.

A Bachelor gif?? That’s it. Turn in your Man Card! Lol

Any Kahun/Drai Highlights

I realized it after I posted it spare me. I don't watch these kind of things and had no idea who that man is.

[Little Fury]

Now I really hope there's a season.

Just kiddin’ my friend. My wife both records and religiously watches those AWFUL shows. Thank God for the Xbox downstairs. Lol

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Now we just wait for whenever the season starts

Not much. I don't really watch the Hawks unless I'm at the bar after beer league hockey and the game was on for all the locals.
