Four years after an improbable run to the Olympic final and that ended with a silver medal, Germany is back at the Olympics without NHL players looking to duplicate that effort. "We never want to talk about that we won silver last Olympics, that we're going to win it again. We just go step by step," Kahun said. (AP Photo/Matt Slocum, File)

FILE - In this Feb. 29, 2020, file photo, Buffalo Sabres center Dominik Kahun (95) tries to keep the puck away from Arizona Coyotes center Nick Schmaltz (8) during an NHL hockey game in Glendale, Ariz. Kahun is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent after the Sabres chose not to issue a qualifying offer to retain his rights by an NHL deadline Wednesday, Oct. 7. Kahun’s agent Jiri Hamal, however, told The Associated Press his client hasn’t ruled out rejoining the team. Hamal said he’s scheduled to have further contract discussions with the Sabres on Thursday to see if the two sides can reach a deal. (AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin, File)
