Waived: What's the deal with Dominik Kahun?

[HandshakeLine]

I don’t know if anyone loves him, but giving the Laughs the 15th overall pick AND him for Kap was inexcusable. If this was the price Dubas wanted, JR should have hung up his flip phone and went back to his 4:15 pm PF Chang’s dinner.

He was in our top 3-5 prospects.

Those same people that undervalue him are the same homers that would be praising him in the prospect thread happening right now.

Sure thang.

 

[Bure80]

His resume is pretty boring if you ask me even in Germany except his 16U year that he scored 206 points in 30 games.

Wonder what that league looked like lol

He played on a line with Draisaitl. He even outscored him.
I dont understand that there isnt more love for him. He has the tools for a Top6 forward.

 

[DearDiary]

Kahun and McCann played well together and helped carry the team during one of the roughest injury stretches. There is something clearly off with him though.

Kahun had 3 points in a game... Sullivan healthy scratched him the very next game. There was clearly problems going on off the ice, because on ice he worked his ass off every shift

sully saw him and rikky laughing over in the corner.....and sully just knew they were laughing at him.

I thought it was because he banged Sullivan's daughter.

Well, it looks like the Oilers have signed him.

He's going to do so well there, stupid senile that JR.

We didn't need Ceci or Rodrigues back, if they just signed Janky, we'd have the cap to bring him back.

A line of McCann-Jankowski-Kahun would have actually given us a proper f***ing 3rd line.

There have never been any rumors about that at all, weird that people jump to that speculation like Sullivan hasn't healthy scratched players for stupid or bizarre reasons and kept playing others for no reason at all.

Riikola would play well, then make 1 tiny mistake and he'd get benched for weeks, meanwhile other players would make countless errors and their ice time wouldn't decrease or anything of that sort.

It's just bizarre to me that a stubborn prick like Sullivan isn't an issue in this and it's "Kahun must've irked players in the dressing room" type of bs.

There are countless players still free agents, a lot want term because they don't make an exorbitant amount like stars so for them to have stability, I get it, they want term and a lot of teams don't want to given the expansion draft next year and some players also want 1yr deals so they can also be an option for that team.

Hoffman is also a free agent - Only narrative on him is that Karlsson's whack job of a wife accused his gf of stuff that was never proven in court and apparently Hoffman's gf is so good at what she did that it was NSA level....*roll-eyes*
Sheary
Granlund
Vatanen
Soderberg
Haula - Only issue he had was that he wants to play C, not W.
Frolik - Everyone's favorite wet blanket of a trade target every year.
etc...

Good thing the pens signed so many more useful players in positions of need

 

[snipes]

Can any Pens fans chime in on what we should expect?

Him and Draisaitl grew up together and are super close.

We’re pretty over the moon with this one, let’s RNH move up to McDavids wing and gives Drai his left winger.

What is this depth the Oilers now have in the top 9?

Now he’s back on a line with his boy.

He’s bounced around between three teams in two years and has been a very good producer on all three teams which obviously throws up some red flags.

But, I don’t necessarily understand why he has been traded. He’s a solid top nine wing and probably after RNH and Yamamoto will be Edmonton’s best. Obviously you know the numbers he and Drai put up so I wouldn’t be surprised to see Kahun hit 50 pts this year and be an absolute steal with Drai.

That being said, if we follow his previous usage with Sully and Q who IMO are more lenient coaches than Tippett, he was given strictly soft and light minutes. So it also wouldn’t surprise me to see him toiling on the 3rd line for no apparent reason.

I think everyone on our board would have loved Kahun back at this cost. Insane upside and really no downside.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I don’t mean for this to come off as a
criticism of Dadonov because I wanted him here, but I really question if he is what a contender would want given that he just chased money and term to be in Ottawa.

No. He chased the best deal he could get.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

No. He chased the best deal he could get.

He took 1m more AAV and didn't take any NMC like he had in Florida.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Well, now I have to hate him. Signing with them is like signing with the Caps or Flyers. Pure yuck.

 

[EightyOne]

.... That's rough, @Zirakzigil

He's suffering enough with literally nothing to do in the frozen hellscape that is EDM

His fault for signing with a team that is more greasy than Luongo's hair and that I hate.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Wearing #95 now?

Suddenly I like Kahun almost half as much as the rest of yinz.

(95 is awesome. Kahun is okay)

I hear there are really nice mountains you can see from the rink that are actually six hours away.

 

[JRS91]

Well, it looks like the Oilers have signed him.

I called it.

I knew for a fact he wasn't going to get $2M+ given the situation of everything. It makes me hopeful that maybe just maybe the Penguins could convince Haula to sign a cheap one year deal like that. That said, I'd much rather have Kahun at $925K than Rodrigues at league minimum. Imagine if we didn't sign Ceci.

 

[Jacob]

I’d rather have Kahun at 2.2 than Sceviour & ZAR.

 

[HandshakeLine]

I’d rather have Kahun at 2.2 than Sceviour & ZAR.

Unfortunately, we don't have takers for ZAR and the coaching staff seems to hate Kahun as much as they love the Zach-man.

No love for the GOAT

Thats because we dont like Edmonton and keep them for ourselves.
