There "appears" to be some potential for Kahun to be a mediocre top 6 fwd but it's all about him being able to get some traction, confidence and mojo going. Maybe playing him with his buddy drai will help unlock it, who knows? Or maybe playing him on the third line with Turris and Ennis etc will form some chemistry to really get some mojo and good touches going? Move him off Drai's line so he can't defer to Drai all the time and work more on carrying the play a bit more?
That's part of the coach's job, to figure out a way to make the new guys feel most comfortable to play to their potential and unlock their full talent. Sometimes that means not playing with the big 2 as they will defer and not develop their full potential in the NHL. And if they're on the third line, give them more opportunities and ice time. Maybe give a second pp unit more opportunities to gain some offensive traction, moving the puck around and getting solid touches.
