Dominik Kahun wants to make the Chicago Blackhawks’ opening night roster, and if he doesn’t he plans to return to EHC München in Germany, reports Scott Powers of The Athletic.
Kahun spoke with Powers on Thursday prior to the Hawks opening loss to Columbus in the annual prospect tournament in Traverse City, Michigan. Powers notes that Kahun, who signed a two-year deal worth $1.85 million in April as a undrafted free agent, has a European assignment clause in his contract. The clause would allow the 23-year-old to return to Germany while the Hawks retain his NHL rights.
