Oilers sign Kahun to 1-year, $975K deal

The Edmonton Oilers have signed forward Dominik Kahun to a one-year contract worth $975,000, the team announced Monday.

The 25-year-old split time last season between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Buffalo Sabres, tallying 12 goals and 19 assists across 56 games.

The Czech-born German forward has logged just two NHL seasons. He previously spent four campaigns in Germany's top professional league with Munich EHC.

Kahun was teammates with Oilers star Leon Draisaitl in Germany's under-16 Schuler-BL league. During the 2010-11 season, Kahun recorded 69 goals and 206 points in 30 games, while Draisaitl netted 97 goals and 192 points.
