I'd rather have Sheary than Simmonds every day of the week

Yes, but had to weaken at wing slightly to add the best player in the Sheary trade in Kahun.

A player!

And he might be better than either we gave up!

Best player in the trade, late bloomer, 2nd NHL season, 44 point pace at C. 

This is a move.

He's 24 and turns 25 in July.

5'11", 175 lbs.  He played 2 years in the OHL (Sudbury, eh?) at ages 17 and 18, then played professionally in Germany for 4 years, then 1 year with the Blackhawks (37 pts in 82 games -- not bad for a rookie) and then 27 pts in 50 games this year with Pittsburgh.

He also played for Germany 3 times in the World Juniors and for them in the 2018 Olympics.

I wonder if RK knows him?

Seems like a nice pickup for 2 UFAs with little value.

Any additional details on Kahun besides he could be a 3C next year?

Where does he fit now?

24 yr old center with 2 years of NHL experience. He's an RFA this year. Has played all the games the last 2 years in the NHL, except for recently where he was DTD with an injury.

Has to know him and his game.

Someone who knows more than me, is Kahun actually a center?

He is an actually can win a faceoff, although he doesn’t take many draws in Pitt.

I'd give Botts an A for the day if he stopped right here

He did what he was supposed to. Didn't go above and beyond, didn't wow anything.

Looks like a huge upgrade on ERod. And this is the type of low-profile deadline deal that sometimes looks like an enormous win in a few seasons.

Simmonds isn't as good as Sheary, but he fills a need better.

I'm thumbs up so far.

(To be honest, Sheary was my least favourite Sabre, and Erod was probably number two)

Right now (pending another deal) Vesey - Kahun - MoJo as the 2nd line, with Skinner - Lazar - Frolik as the 3rd. So, he's our 2C at this instant?

At this instant, yes.

We also just cleared another couple million in cap from this team. 

For this offseason, or for the next 20m? i.e. Sheary and Rodrigues were both gone, and Simmonds is a UFA, no?

Sorry we sent out 5million and brought back only 925k

We cleared that for this season. Kahun is on an entry level deal and Sheary and Erod were worth 5mil

Unsure of Kahun being an actual center at this point.

Kahun jumps to $3.7 though with his bonuses

Ah, okay so that's where that 2mil I saw comes from. Cool, thank you.
