Sabres Do Not Qualify Kahun

[nfreeman]

It has to be said:  unless they work out a deal to re-sign him, this looks like a shortsighted, penny-pinching move.

[bob_sauve28]

Wow, this is crazy 

[Derrico]

New gm.  Same as the old.

[Taro T]

WHY Santy Claus, WHY are you taking our MF'n Christmas tree. 😠 

[Curt]

I’m thinking there must be a deal.  Doesn’t make any sense for a player so cheap.

I predict that everyone is freaking out over nothing.

Couldn't pick Rossi cause he was Botterill's guy, couldn't sign Kahun cause he was Botterill's one great trade 😈

RIP Jokiharju.

[Derrico]

What a ***** joke of a franchise

[LabattBlue]

Has to be a deal about to be signed.  No other explanation.

[bob_sauve28]

Maybe there’s something really strange about the guy, Pittsburgh gave him up for almost nothing 

[dudacek]

Erod not qualified either and Sheary won’t be re-signed.

Talk about a nothing trade, all the pieces gone after what a dozen games?

[Andrew Amerk]

This is disappointing. 
 

Especially for a team looking for some cheap talent.

Everything pointed towards keeping Kahun.  Still gotta believe there's a deal there.  Adams gonna get it in the post-draft presser.  Sick 'em @john wawrow.

let's hope

Either we're extending (likely) or he was going to command 4M in arbitration or there's some sort of warning sign where he keeps being moved. We will learn patience.

well wawrow tweeted that he was allowed to go to UFA now so i'm not sure he'll be the one doing the sicking. 

unless he's just getting the info in real time

Is my current flaming pitchfork considered freaking out tho?

[#freejame]

Pretty sure teams can walk away from arb contracts this season so the question of whether his potential arb was going to be too high is moot. It’s a bad move if he isn’t signed. 

[Shootica]

For what it's worth, none of the top name insiders have commented on Kahun.  Makes me think they're digging and there's more below the surface.

[Thorner]

Waiting on Brawndo to drop the hammer one way or the other like..

Anyone check the BN death notices under "K' today?

[IKnowPhysics]

If Adams intentionally doesn't qualify him, only to prevent expensive arbitration, then signs him for less before he gets to UFA.

Btw, the list of RFAs turned UFAs via no qualifying offer: https://www.capfriendly.com/browse/free-agents/2021/points/all/all/ufa-no-qualifying-offer

What’s the knock on And Then I See You?

His stats look decent.

He was a team-worst -45 in 46GP on a very bad DET team.
