Contract Termination: Evander Kane

[bambamcam4ever]

It may be if he was barred from entering the states or added to the no fly list for committing that felony on an air plane. Either of those things would prevent him from continuing his career and it could happen here

Well that hasn't happened yet so it seems like the Sharks showed their hand here.

We need to see the full details of this. And something tells me the sharks aren’t being 100% forth coming about the full details. As bad as Kane is lately, I don’t think he got on a flight knowing he was Covid positive. Also if he did that, wouldn’t that be national headlines right now as he probably would have gotten into deep shit at the airport.

Again until the Sharks provide concrete evidence I’m inclined to believe that this is bullshit. How was even allowed to get on the flight in the first place? And how did he get into Vancouver if this true? None of it makes sense, the Sharks need to fully explain this one.

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

Two separate issues. If he violates safety protocols, suspend him. If he gets rid of his debts, good for him. If he somehow ends up getting rid of his debts by violating safety protocols... well played I guess?

and the ~23m he's walking away from?

 

[Telos]

didn't LA do something similar with Voynov (if I have the player correct)?

LA did this pretty much with both Slava Voynov and Mike Richards

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

$10 says someone signs him cheap, he shockingly acts like a clown, and gets dumped again to the minors.

He’ll take that 10 dollars

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

NHLPA i think may file a grievance.

I wonder what the BK Trustee will have to say as well.

I'm not saying Sharks were/are not fully justified, but I can't see the PA walking away without a fight

yeah, gotta wonder if the creditors will go after the club now

 

[chauron]

All right .. so he traveled to Canada while knowing that he is covid positive and that’s the breach of protocol? Is that correct?

If so he did also maybe violate traveling rules, exposed others, broke quarantine rules etc … possibly federal law in usa too. Good riddance.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

I have this problem where I overestimate the critical thinking skills of narcissistic idiots

I legitimately thought Kane would realize how delicate of a position he was in and would be on his best behavior. But apparently stupid people don't stop being stupid just because they're in a bad situation.

Can’t fix stupid

the problem is if this actually happened, he would have def been arrested or issued a fine at the airport and there would be more news about this. So something isn’t adding up, I think it’s more likely he didn’t know he was Covid positive and travelled when the team didn’t want him to on an off day. And then they found out he was positive after. I find it hard to believe he travelled knowing he was Covid positive.

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

SJ is just saying they aren't going to honor the contract and not pay him. That doesn't mean what they are doing is legal. It is most likely not.

I would have to imagine that they've consulted their lawyers before making this move.. hence why its taken so long

 

[im gangster]

Who knows where he ends up now. No NHL team wants him at this point.

My guess is somewhere in Europe, maybe KHL.

Whether or not he's in or out of the NHL, this won't be the last we hear from him.

At least we know how to reach him.

 

[DrDangles]

Dude has the tools to be one of the best goal scoring power forwards in the world and blew it over the dumbest shit, what an absolute clown.

 

[Helistin]

You mean his creditors will take it?

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

$10 American. That's a downpayment on a house up here.

That joke really doesn’t work considering our housing market is absolutely insane.

This seems like a logical fallacy, some sort of appeal to authority.

Just because some corporation made a decision, doesn't mean it was a good one or well thought out

 

[The Macho King]

LA did this pretty much with both Slava Voynov and Mike Richards

Voynov lost his Visa and Richard's was at risk of losing his. In an international league it's much easier to make the case that such a thing is a material breach.

so you're saying the club, that employs lawyers, would not consult them before doing this?

Also I can't tell you how many times I've told a client what was going to happen and then be ignored.

I seem to remember LA trying to keep Voynov until it became a very public issue, and looking very ugly (is domestic abuse every pretty?)

 

[im gangster]

Wonder which ones he didn’t. Dude tried to pass off a fake vaccination to a professional sports league.

lol

 

[JAK]

His name on the Stanley Cup would
Make me throw up.

Pretty sure you would not have to worry about that if he goes to the Leafs

And then they found out he was positive after. I find it hard to believe he travelled knowing he was Covid positive.

So the scenario would be that he tested negative when entering the country but tested positive while trying to come back?

I don't see how that would violate covid protocols and represent a breach of contract

now THIS, I can believe

seems kinda silly with 23m on the line, but like ya said, ya never know what people will do

 

[Yog S'loth]

It didn't work for LA and Richards; it's not going to work now.

This is going to court, and it's gonna be there a while.
