*Brings up Kuemper, a player from another team, constantly

*Ask others why they bring up Skinner, an actual player on the team.

Kahun has a WHOPPING 4pts while playing in the Top6 in EDM with McDavid & Draisaitl
That’s pretty disappointing so far

He’s tied with LAZAR,
who’s been playing on our 4th line

Looks to me like we aren’t missing out on much from Kahun at all



***and for those who were making horrible Kyle Turris suggestions.... he’s not doing sh!t either :
(3pts, & a -10)

- jdfitz77

This is why “points” arguments are dumb.

Kahun has been good in Edmonton. Was good here for those few games, was good in Pittsburg and good in Chicago.

He’s good.

Why CONSTANTLY bring up SkiNNer?
He has nothing to do with Girgs or Kahun???

All good goalies...nice list with zero data to back it up...
Are those Fantasy Round Average selection in n numbers before their name?

- IonSabres


Gibson is undeniably a top10 goalie in the league
What is Boss even talking about with him???

Hmmmm.
I wonder if quality of teammate has anything to do with it?

Last season was a poor season for The Ducks, while Tampa enjoyed the ultimate success...so their roster were anything but similar. I would think you would agree.

So go back the 2 previous seasons ('17-'18 & '18-'19), their stats were unbelievably similar...but a quick check for the previous 3 seasons (starting with '16-'17)...represented the same story. Stats from Natural Stat Trick.

VASI. GIBBY.
118. 118. Games Played
7,028. 6,661. TOI
3,788. 3,712. Shots against
3,493. 3,420. Saves
0.922. 0.921. SV %
41.88. 38.12. Goals Saved Above Average
919. 1,112. High Danger Shots Against
759. 938. HD Saves
0.826. 0.844. HD SV %

In fact, given not all shots, and therefore saves, are the same...look at the High Danger SV %.

I'll stick to the fact they are eerily similar and therefore I'm right once again.

ProTip: I wouldn't base an argument on fantasy btw, lol!

- IonSabres


There career stats are very competitive .

Vaslevsky is %💯0 skinner better than Gibson

Just take a quick Google of best nhl goalie.
Plenty of fantasy and ion fantasy misinformation.

Wrong again ion... sorry

No, he’s not “good”
And his point totals are inarguable disappointing so far
He’s been freaking playing with Draisaitl & McDavid

Guess who has the fewest points in their top6?
Yep, it’s Kahun

He’s an AVERAGE-ish player who it would’ve been nice to keep- but losing him isn’t nearly the “end of the world” you made it to be

Gibson is Vezina caliber- just currently stuck on a pretty bad team
He’s a hell of a goalie, for sure

- jdfitz77

I swear you back yourself into a corner on these stupid arguments constantly over semantics

He’s on pace for 9-10 EV goals over 56 games

That’s 14-15 over 82 games.

That’s good. That’s good for a second liner

He’s a 30-35 point player being paid under 1.0 mil. That’s good

He doesn’t play PP minutes.

Kahun is a good player.

It probably won’t be about football at all though
Will just be more of his awful shaking hands jokes about Michael J Fox I’d bet
Nobody “outclasses” beady after all.... NOBODY

He hasn’t played with McDavid at all this year. And he was cold to begin with, 3 pts in his last 4. Also second most line combo is Kyle turris and Jesse poolparty. He’s good, and I would wait to rush to judgment based on a 9 game sample size getting used to a new team during a Covid pandemic that really limited gel time with new teammates... but that’s just me. He could also suck. What do I know. What do any of us really know.

No, he’s actually pretty good and everything you said is spot on

Fitz likes to argue semantics for some reason and then end up with Egg on his face when Sal Capaccio calls Gabriel Davis’s rookie season “very good”

OMG!!!
U mean he MIGHT get double digit goals playing on a line with DRAISAITL?!?!?!

Blah, blah, blah

Your definition of “good” is embarrassing

EDM would replace him in their top6 in a heartbeat if they didn’t have a roster of scrubs

Well if the “ultimate bills homer” local sports reporter says so.....

What were Davis’ stats against the Chiefs?
How about against Baltimore?
I didn’t see u post those.....?
How come?

Calling his season “very good” is an exaggeration
He didn’t even have 1 “very good” game

U know who ACTUALLY had a “very good” rookie season?

He’s proven they’ll come

Kahun has also proven what he is....
an average-ish player who belongs on a 3rd line

Unlike O’Reilly....
Kahun actually is EASILY REPLACEABLE

Just don’t ask Sbroads what that means or he’ll tell you Berglund will be fine & can site fast 😂😂😂
