Very nice signing by the Oilers. Kahun has played with Draisaitle before and were great together. Holland is gradually giving the Oilers depth at the forward position.
Kahun more of a passer than a scorer and work well with either McD line or Drai line.
Oilers are becoming a very good offensive team to be recond with. Very much compare with Colorado now.

You sure about that... oilersnation.com/2020/11/04/want-to-see-all-of-dominik-kahuns-goals-from-2019-20-of-course-you-do/I agree though, he should be a fine addition and hopefully could work well with both McD and LD. Would be nice to keep that DRY line together so we'll see what happens.

Would be nice to keep that DRY line together so we'll see what happens. I agree, he can also score very well. IMO he an even better distributer of the puck. Being on a Pittsburgh team you will have lots of opportunities in the offensive zone, but never scored 20 goals in the minors or in the NHL. He does very well finding the right guy, and both Drai and McD like carrying the puck and can score very well. Either way, very nice pickup, top 6 forward IMO.

I hope Kahun finds chemistry with Draisaitl and Nuge ends up on McDavid's left side. Either way, I like the tinkering done to the roster and now I just want to know when we get to watch hockey again.

I’m sure that’s an option, but I’m guessing Kahun/Draisaitl will get tried because they’ve played together in the past and both German.

Yeah they've been together since they were under 16, of course they'll be put together. I'd just think Kahun with McDavid might be better. |

Both options will be tried, of course, and I’m guessing both spots will be interchangeable depending on the game and who we’re playing.

I always think people put a little too much stock in prior chemistry and “they’re from the same country” translating into current chemistry. That chemistry, correct me if I’m wrong, was pre Leon being sent down to the AHL. His game is different now. Sure, try it to see if there is something, but only the same way you would with any other teammate that would be a likely fit.

They’ve played together almost every year on Team Germany at the WC since they were 16. So not just pre AHL Leon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I dont care if he plays well with Leon or McD but he does have to produce on one of those lines as we cant keep paying for 3rd-4th line production, we have like 12 of those type already. I hope he finds chemistry with one, because we know nuge can fit with either hart guy and that will give us 2 great lines with a potential for Turris to make hay on the 3rd line as well. To me, speaking german has no more advantage than saying 2 guys who speak english should have chemistry, but the fact they did play together a lot at the national level is at least a good sign and probably why KH took the gamble. KH somehow has to find a top 6 producer while paying bottom 6 salary and so imo only way to find this is to try to get a guy who has either had great chemistry with Leon or Connor in the past or find a guy who's produced top 6 points in past but has no fallen on tough times and needs a path to redemption (if kahun doesnt work quickly, i'd try to pick up a Duclair-type ASAP

yeah when I said ASAP, I was thinking of once season starts and we find that Kahun is not working with either McD or Drai, we need to bring in a potential replacement top 6 right away. I'm assuming by this time the cap is sorted, Klef's LTIR has been used towards Bear and that we can hide some people in minors or get rid of some to free up a bit of cap. I dont expect anything to happen right now until we at least get a better idea of how our team shapes up in training camp and in first few games (although depending on the length of season,KH may have to act really quick if we dont want the 2021 season to be waasted)!

I think KH is content with the moves he’s made. I am too. Outside of Smith coming back and Klefbom out, I think we’re better than last season. We’ll just have to see if these new players gel with our current players. The one thing I’m worried about is Bear. I wonder why he isn’t signed yet. If he asking too much or is KH offering too little? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

One party may want a one year contract right now while the other party may want long term. Not sure. They'll get a deal done though I am confident.
