Agreed. Toronto is exactly where I'd like to see Kane end up.

He should do a reality show where he lives in Vegas and tries not to gamble… call it “Kane’s Not Able”

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

As long as he doesn't join our team, I'm good.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Zito pls

Uh, no....

Wonder if this termination and the subsequent grievance will be a "get your popcorn ready" moment, because I wouldn't be surprised if this blew up when it happens and the news goes public (as much as I think the outcome might be obvious, still kind of expecting a soap opera kind of ending).

So his contract is terminated, but would a successful NHLPA grievance result in the reinstatement of his contract?

NHLPA grievance was automatic whether there are grounds for it or not.If it is successful (doubtful), I suspect the Sharks will file their own grievance to grieve the NHLPA grievance.

No but it would be a full payment sort of thing because the player is allowed to sign elsewhere which could conflict with a reinstatement.

If they still let people protect their homes from creditors by declaring them homesteaded then I can see the attraction to Florida

Casino's in Florida right now

3 teams he would accept a trade to

Guy should be happy to take any job he can get.

Probably a POS move to make sure his ex wife gets nothing.

Incidentally that would be very unlikely to work. Basically while it is an unusual situation, the judge could do something along the lines of issuing an order that she get x % of Evander Kane's earnings for the next x number of years. (With the wages being garnished under the circumstances.) An alternate possibility is the ex-wife would have an incentive to delay finalizing the divorce settlement until he at least has a new contract signed in the future, but the percentage move might be the one a judge would be most inclined to implement under the circumstance.

 

[CupInSIX]

Can he wield 2 contracts simultaneously? Like when the Ultimate Warrior had 2 belts?

meanwhile Kane will gamble against the Leafs

 

[Kryten]

There was a time we would take a guy like you in the back and beat you with a hose. Now you’ve got your god damned unions

Cap hit off capfriendly

This time next year, he’ll be living in a refrigerator box under a bridge

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

meanwhile Kane will gamble against the Leafs

Not much money to be made there, especially once the playoffs get started.

 

[Frosty415]

That seems awfully convenient for San Jose’s cap situation

They should have to eat the cap hit for the next 3 years even if they don’t have to pay Kane the money.

Imagine being triggered by this

I'm so sorry this is happening to you

The arbitrator has the power to reinstate a contract. Really depends on what remedy the PA would want to pursue if they win the grievance. Reinstate, or receive some form of compensation and leave the contract terminated.
