Playing career

Born in the Czech Republic, Kahun moved to Germany with his family as a child.

[2] He then moved to Canada where he played two seasons of major junior hockey with the Sudbury Wolves of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL).

On 4 April 2014, it was confirmed that Kahun had signed with EHC Red Bull München to begin his professional career with the 2014–15 season in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL). [3] In 2016, he won the DEL title with München.

On 21 May 2018, Kahun as an undrafted free agent signed a two-year entry-level contract with the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League (NHL). [4] Kahun made his NHL debut on 3 October [5] and recorded his first two NHL points, both assists, in a 7–6 overtime loss against the Toronto Maple Leafs on 8 October. [6] He recorded his first career NHL goal on 11 October in a 4–3 overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild. [7] He appeared in all 82 games with the Blackhawks in the 2018–19 season, providing scoring depth to Chicago, finishing tied 7th among all rookies in NHL scoring with 13 goals and 37 points.

On 15 June 2019, Kahun was traded by the Blackhawks to the Pittsburgh Penguins along with a 2019 fifth-round pick for Olli Maatta. [8] Kahun scored his first goal with the Penguins on 26 October 2019 against the Dallas Stars. [9] Kahun was injured on 19 January 2020, suffering a concussion during a game against the Boston Bruins. [10] He returned to the line-up on 18 February after missing 8 games. [11] In 50 games with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Kahun added 10 goals and 17 assists. On 24 February 2020, he was traded to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for Conor Sheary and Evan Rodrigues. [12] Kahun made six appearances with the Sabres, collecting two goals and 4 points before the regular season was initially paused then concluded due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Due to salary cap considerations, Kahun was not tendered a qualifying offer by the Sabres during the offseason, making him a free agent. [13] On 1 November 2020, Kahun was signed to a one-year, $975,000 contract by the Edmonton Oilers, joining countryman and league MVP Leon Draisaitl. [14] With the 2020–21 NHL season set to be delayed due to the pandemic, Kahun was loaned by the Oilers to return to his German club, EHC München of the DEL, on 6 November 2020, until the commencement of Edmonton's training camp. [15]
