"Dominik had a great rookie season with the Blackhawks," said Penguins’ general manager Jim Rutherford. "He is a speedy, versatile player capable of playing all three forward positions. He also saw time on Chicago's power-play and penalty killing units. We are very excited for him to join our team."
Kahun will be a restricted free agent at the end of next season as he enters the final year of his entry-level contract, carrying an average annual value of $925,000.
The Penguins will also get a 2019 fifth-round draft pick, giving the Pens six selections in the 2019 NHL Draft.
