Speculation: Evander Kane Megathread - Under termination appeal, NHL investigation, & looking for a new contract

[tapi]

Will be the same as DeAngelo, a great player at bargain price point (contact wise). A great short-term add for a contender.

 

[Coachcorner]

I can see him bursting out of the gate to begin the season. Guy is a 5 star player.

The contract announcement must be real close already sire

 

[Divine]

It's crazy that teams are jumping on a guy that SJ was paying to stay away from their team.

It's crazy that teams are jumping on a guy that SJ was paying to stay away from their team.

And thrown off the Jets by his own teammates.

 

[Sniper99]

Oh I'll be pissed if he somehow ends up in Toronto. I'll have no trouble whatsoever expressing my displease E and to the Leafs in whatever ways I can

you'll get over it.

 

[BlueSeal]

I bet Kane ends up without a contract.

I bet Kane ends up without a contract.

The Oilers are the most desperate team in the NHL. Its all or nothing for them now. Holland has nothing.

Friedman on the 32 thoughts podcast said border services are now also investigating Kane.
Mentioned it within the first few minutes.

This is the perfect situation for Kane to right the ship. He can be a fast physical presence that could probably score 40 (in a full season) if he just gets his freaking act together. You get to play with the best player on the planet. All you have to do is not be a f***ing idiot.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

I've fully bought into Carolina as a match for both sides. It's a quiet market that will allow him to get out of the spotlight for a bit; the organization successfully dealt with the fallout of the DeAngelo signing. Still, the potential for the playoff exposure that can get him paid again is there. It's not McDavid and/or Draisaitl, but he'd be with Aho and Teravainen before too long, imo. The Canes want a power winger to play there, allowing Svechnikov to drive his own line. Ferland was acquired for a reason. Kotkaniemi started there too. Martinook continues to find his way up in the lineup at times, which is quite undesirable. His expected contract term comes with little risk. He even has ties to the organization; Waddell drafted him.

I predict he'll sign where the weather is warm and casinos close by.

So Las Vegas?

Well, your last sentence will rule out Kane.....

 

[Seras]

The fact that this shithead still gets another chance at earning a million dollar salary because he's good at skating around the ice with a rubber disc says volumes about the "character" of league executives.

We use tax $ to pay trained professionals to judge others and your here doing it for free... Should apply imo.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Whoever is signing him is killing their season. If he does well, he's just going to destroy the team.

If it's Edmonton, Oiler fans are going to hate him more than Chris Pronger.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

So is Kane getting an artificial disc or is he fusing them?

As much alike as they are as disruptive players, I don't think Kane and DeAngelo could survive in the same locker room unless its like this forums rules. No politics allowed. In that regard, they were both outspoken opposites on twitter before they both cleaned their twitter accounts.

I am heavily leaning on that he doesnt play again this year, and gets a big fat 0 in arbitration from the sharks. This will be his second federal law violation in less than 6 months. Obviously he learned absolutely nothing on his first suspension, not that thats shocking.

If you can't keep your head down for a few months playing for Rod Brind'Amour, you deserve to be banished to Russia.

It's not the league's business to police federal law, if Kane gets sentenced then the league can react to it.

First of all, I never said it was. Second, the league does not have to wait for American and/or Canadian officials to decide if he broke federal law. If Kane did indeed travel, against health restrictions, he violated his contract. Not to forget the fact that he failed to report back to the team when he was supposed to. The league has every right to decided if his conduct is unbecoming of a player in the NHL.

Except Kane is the world champion of assholes.

Kane makes DeAngelo look like Patrice Bergeron.

This could backfire on any team that signs him.

This will also backfire for teams who will be playing against edmonton sire. Kane makes edmonton so much more stronger..... they shall win a lot of games with kane out there. Real strong and steady. Kane was the best regular season player on the sharks roster last season. Other sharks players were jelious to him.

 

[Jetsfan79]

Look Im no fan of Evander Kane.

But it seems allot of people do not realize Kane is ONLY SIGNING FOR 4-5 MONTHS! (assuming a team Is able to sign him to play pending the investigation)

Are people just not digesting this? In all previous times , the issue is that Kane eventually wears out his welcome and starts to do stupid things. There's is 0 risk to have him for 4-5 months with 0 assests spent and a prorated salary ( likly around 750 k from 1.5 mill).

People are acting like Kane will sign, proceed to meet up with his new team, twirl his mustache and say to everyone " Didn't you guys read twitter? heheheheee IM BAAAAD!..I'm a cancer and I'm going to piss you all off..hehehe" (Jumping up and down like an over excited kid)

Guys, first sign of trouble, you can burry Kane and his prorated salary in the AHL until July 1 and then hes is gone. Off the books. Finito.

Do people not realize this? He is not signing for 8 years here. For a team like Edmonton, it's virtually 0 risk.

Could you reference or explain the details of those two “federal laws” violation incidents?
