Evander Kane

[Mafoofoo]

Every time there’s Kane news it always just gets worse

 

[LeeIFBB]

And yet somehow it’s still not our worst contract. Thank you Doug!

 

[Cas]

Either terminate, or tell him to stay home, then buy him out.

 

[sharski]

NHL will probably add on a $5 million/year penalty on top for "basketball reasons"

 

[SharksAddict]

It will be a colossal organizational failure if they let Kane play for this team again.

Don’t care how good of a hockey player he is.

What a terrible example for kids like Eklund to have around.

 

[Negatively Positive]

Can the league make a decision before training camp? I don't want him around the team.

 

[one2gamble]

I didn't expect this one to resurface.

He pissed creditors off of course it's going to resurface

 

[TheBeard]

Something tells me the team will tell him to stay away until the investigations are over.

 

[Negatively Positive]

Something tells me the team will tell him to stay away until the investigations are over.

Allegedly his teammates have been complaining about him but they just swept it under the rug. They might continue to do that until the league steps in. It could be a Deshaun Watson situation and they have him playing 3rd string goalie or something.

 

[Nighthock]

DW is a big p***y…

 

[Yak]

Kane just needs to go away. NHL and hockey does not need him.

Every sport has their POS , MLB has Trevor Bauer, NFL has DeShaun Watson and NHL has Kane and the Blackhawks.

I don't mind due-process but if everything points to guilty we make an example of these people and ban them for life.

 

[Levie]

Maybe Sharks fans will stop wishing for offseason news after this debacle.

 

[DrFeelgood]

This dude needs to go, even before the most recent news but even more so now.

 

[Gunnin54]

What’s the most recent news, I haven’t been paying attention

 

[Alwalys]

So like ... this is sordid, sure, but other than it being public, what business of Kane's teammates is this, let alone fans? Rich athlete has side chick problems, news at 11.

 

[Doctor Soraluce]

For the love of God, how many more things has he allegedly done? This is ridiculous. One thing after another. I have defended Kane and his contract but at this point I'm sick of it. I really hope the gambling allegations are true just so the NHL will terminate his contract and we get out of the cap hit. I am DONE!

Yup, I've been as big a Kane supporter as there is and I'm done. Can't wait for it to be resolved. Hope it's not with him in a Sharks jersey this season.

 

[Doctor Soraluce]

Welp. . .

*googles Evander Kane buyout calculator*

If we didn't miss the 2nd buyout window:

22 - $1.833M
23 - $3.833M
24 - $2.833M
25 - $4.833M
26 - $1.833M
27 - $1.833M
28 - $1.833M
29 - $1.833M

If we did:

23 - $3.666M
24 - $2.666M
25 - $4.666M
26 - $1.666M
27 - $1.666M
28 - $1.666M

I'm hoping it's too late to buy him out this summer and we do it next summer so the penalty is lesser and for less time, but at this point it seems inevitable

The 2nd buy out window closed 24 hours (48?) after Hill agreed to terms. It was based around his contract because he filed for arbitration.

I don't live in a glass house and I won't stoop to trashing a guy because his life is public and his mistakes and decisions are front page news. Doesn't make me better than the next fan, just my thought on it. Hope everything gets resolved and all of his debts get paid. I sincerely hope the betting allegations aren't true. I like Kane as a player and feel after all of this, ironically, he could become a better leader. Maybe teach the younger guys to learn from his mistakes. Resilience, perseverance and all that. Wishful thinking I know. I just don't want it to be true cause that's also really ugly. I want to believe there's some decency in Kane as a man and a professional.

Dude Kane is the furthest thing from a leader. That's just delusional.

 

[LeeIFBB]

Is that you, Doug?

From the previous page

Judge rules Sharks' Evander Kane must face discovery in abortion-for-pay lawsuit

Athletic Paywall.

Sound like he could be paying lawyers more than his mortgage

 

[seroes]

Dude Kane is the furthest thing from a leader. That's just delusional.

At best Kane is another cautionary tale for athletes in not becoming addicted to gambling.

 

[PacificOceanPotion]

Its not delusional. Do I think he's leader material? Absolutely not, he hasnt shown anything in his entire career to indicate that.. thats why i put "ironically ", maybe it could be a blessing in disguise type thing, maybe it won't. I don't know.. And its also my opinion. Ya know, I'm starting to see why you get into it constantly with people on this board. I don't know what your issue is, I've never really taken issue with the way you address comments. I've always kinda blown it off, maybe you're young or defensive, I don't know. You come across as snobby and abrasive, often.

That actually works better for the team in the long term

Bury the cap hit in the AHL this year and save $700K and just buy him out next summer, it will shorten the penalty and make it lower in the biggest years, that is if his contract isn't terminated by the league before then

Shane Wright, here we come!

 

[one2gamble]

we are not buying Kane out. its illogical
