Wonderful job by KH! If we forget the two seconds he moved for AA. I have been loving his moves thus far. Before the goalie haters jump on me. I am much more happy with Smith on on year then Markstrom on that brutal contact.

What we gave up for AA sucks, but a good experienced GM like Holland cuts his losses and moves forward. He was patient and now we have Kahun for a year for under a million plus 2 years of RFA so if he plays well we qualify him with a small raise.
A lesser GM (see Chia, Lowe, Tambellini, MacT) would have only thought about the cost given up for AA and done everything in their power to save face. If any four of those guys were in charge AA would have been qualified and we would not have the depth we have today.
Just my two cents.

I know there's rumours about Hoffman signing with one of the teams that will have some LTIR space once the season starts. I've wodnered if the Oilers don't get Hoffman, if AA is a bit of a backup plan. With the familiarity with AA and Holland. Honestly, I'd take him back at Kahuns salary, if it doesn't work out put him on waivers to the AHL and if he clears, he clears. Possibility of a condensed schedule makes depth super important.

Do Turris and Hoffman have some history from their Sens days? :)
Maybe getting Kahun tempers this a bit, but how could you not want to try to have 1 great season playing with McDrai as a winger in a write off year where everyone is taking a 50-60% paycut? Then cash in big time next off-season.
