Popular Post CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted November 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) Saw an article earlier last week that basically outlined Draisaitl and Kahun's insane chemistry together back in Germany during their youth. I imagine Edmonton is trying to replicate that and might very well have two distinct scoring lines. RNH-McDavid-Kassian Kahun-Draisaitl-Yamamoto This has potential to be one of the most underrated signings of the offseason.

Devron Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I don’t understand how this guy made it this far into the off-season. Not a big ticket but decent player. Still young and fairly new to the league while putting up respectable numbers given his ice time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised he wasn’t qualified to begin with but I guess with the flat cap. They’d risk him making 2-3 million. Idk. Might flourish in Edmonton. Let’s just hope their defence/goaltending continues to suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a certain point those two went in very different directions. They tried the same thing in Buffalo with Rodrigues who was Eichels college linemate. In the end these players were just a product of playing with elite players like Draisaitl, Pettersson, and Eichel. Low risk signing though. Likely good for 30-40 points.

Add Vatanen to that list. Hamonic probably set his market to Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. Guy really wants to play in western Canada. Unfortunately for him all these teams are hurting for cap space. I bet he signs a 1 year deal with one of these teams for around 1.5 to 2 mill.

Whatever they did as kids has no bearing on what happens at the NHL level. How many times have we seen the 'potential chemistry' story fall flat? I suspect we'll still see Edmonton have to load up on one big line again this year and roll 3 crappy ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Slightly better player than Simon, who was supposedly such an amazeballs signing for Calgary.... Edmonton are geniuses desperately needs some cheap winger scoring - have no cap space - and we're not talking depth scoring here - we're talking top 6/middle 6 LW...he pencils into their top 6. Kassian was their 4th leading scorer this year, with 34 pts (Gaudette and Edler were 1 pt off that, at 8th/9th on the Canucks). Makes you wonder how Edmonton manages that kind of futility with a pair of centers like McMe1st and Draisaitl. That's actually impressive. Neal was their 5th leading F scorer - 31 pts = 17 of them on the powerplay. 63% ozone starts, sub 50% corsi, 14 even strength pts = paltry. Kahun is another guy that had top 6 deployment, top 6/high ozone starts - played with some pretty good linemates - and scored in the .5ppg range. Anyhow - the assumption may be that he'll uptick in Deadmonton, but it's worthwhile to look at the context he played in in Pittsburgh and ask if conditions are likely to be any better in the city of lottery champions.

AV. Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 What a signing. Too bad they screwed it on getting a goalie or else they could have strolled their way into the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 No disrespect intended to Kahun.... But I think if there's going to be much/any uptick with that team - it's likely going to have to come from within. Kahun/Turris type signings....meh - not sure they're solid 'bets' to uptick that team. A cheap Benning to Nashville is probably as good a 'bet' as either of them.... They didn't really lose much of 'note' due to Covid - the timing didn't really coincide with any key expiring contracts.....so they're somewhat fortunate in that sense.... Barrie may be a wildcard, but does he make them that much better on the powerplay than Klefbom did? Perhaps - but can he avoid giving it back 5 on 5? For me - any Coiler rise is likely to depend upon... 1) Tippett - continuing to change/transform the underlying lottery champion culture/approach there. and 2) Yamamoto, Bear, Bouchard types upticking from within. If I were an Oiler fan I'd be more enthusiastic about the possibility of Tyler Benson coming in and giving them much needed middle six scoring at LW than I would about a Kahun signing....

Trebreh Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 watch JB sign Granlund and Hoffman to 1 year 1m dollar contracts to counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
