Contract Termination: Evander Kane

[Prominence]

It would be hypocritical of toronto if he went to there.

 

[LMFAO]

Im gonna guess he finish the year in the KHL

next summer he gets a one last chance type deal like Deangelo.

 

[north49er]

Clear case of abuse of talent....

 

[McJedi]

Dudes a first line power forward, you just need to give him his own closet as a locker and keep him away from the team off the ice.

The comparison is to getting incredible on ice production for a tiny AAV. That’s it and I stand by it 100%. I think a team that signs Kane for the balance of this season could get a similar result with tiny AAV and cap hit for many goals and assists.

I may be giving his thought process far too much credit (any credit at all might be too much), but doesn't this potentially benefit him financially in the long-run? Wasn't the reason he couldn't discharge his debts via bankruptcy due to his Sharks contract? If that is terminated, does that present the possibility of the remaining debt being discharged and, 6 months to a year down the line when a team offers him a new contract, he'll be making money that won't be stripped away to his creditors any longer? I recognize I may (or am even likely to) be misunderstanding the ramifications of bankruptcy or the type of bankruptcy he declared.

I would HOPE that there is NO LENIENCY for him in regards to breaching health and safety protocols and by doing that him NOT having to pay back previous debts because of it...but who knows!?

 

[BMOK33]

It must be something pretty bad, considering they didn't try to terminate the first time he violated protocols

Its possible San Jose knows it’s a coin flip as to whether Kane wins a challenge against it by they simply don’t care. They just want him out and if they end up having to pay him in the end then so be it

 

[Isaac Nootin]

It would be hypocritical of toronto if he went to there.

Why Toronto specifically?

 

[TeddyBare]

I think he was advised to do this

he wanted out that contract as the bank’s debts are tied to the contract

This is a chance to get new money.

 

[super6646]

I feel terrible…

Also I wonder how much he bet on getting his contract terminated

 

[Matty Sundin]

He’s the Jon Jones of the NHL. Always something with him

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Kane doesn't have that kind of pull. More likely Evander Kane vs Antonio Brown Celebrity Boxing on VH1 Classics.

Dumb and Dumber

 

[CycloneSweep]

Dudes a first line power forward, you just need to give him his own closet as a locker and keep him away from the team off the ice.

Not worth all the time and effort.

 

[Matty Sundin]

In coming Jake Paul vs Evander Kane in 3,2,1…

Paul is too big now. Nobody will care to watch him fight a hockey player.

 

[Cornwallace]

He already filed for bankruptcy back in March of last year or something.

This is all apart of his plan

 

[CycloneSweep]

Clear case of abuse of talent....

LOLOLOLOL

 

[Telos]

A fool and his money are soon parted. He ruined his perfect life so easily. I want to say I'd been shocked or surprised if someone picks him up on a minimum deal, but I've seen NHL teams do worse.

 

[CycloneSweep]

The extent people go to defend and justify piece of shit people like Kane tells you a lot about those people.

 

[CamPopplestone]

I'm curious if he even wants to fight it, given that probably 90% of his earnings would likely just be going to pay his debts. It probably isn't too motivating to do the constant work of pro hockey without getting the fat stacks.

If he declares full on bankruptcy after this, he might be able to get out from paying most of what he owes, then the second he is clear of that goes to play in the KHL. Or in the meantime try to get a payday by doing the Jake Paul fight.

Honestly who knows at this point

 

[MinJaBen]

Sharks management looks very smart at this point. They put him in the minors knowing he couldn't follow the rules forever, then when he doesn't, they have cause to terminate and get out of that contract with no strings. Good job Sharks.

 

[Nakawick]

The Sharks were going to find any way to get out of the contract and Kane probably knew that. I wonder which covid protocol he broke?

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

 

[coopooter]

Its possible San Jose knows it’s a coin flip as to whether Kane wins a challenge against it by they simply don’t care. They just want him out and if they end up having to pay him in the end then so be it

Doesn’t bankruptcy court end up taking everything anyway if he wins

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Nothing clear cut about this.

"COVID protocols"? You mean the rules that change pretty much every second second, and are different for each team at different times?

Sharks have to feel confident about the move to go forward with it though.

This is a pretty bad misrepresentation of the protocols.

 

[chauron]

A gift that keeps on giving.
Never a dull moment with Kane.

 

[McSnypsky]

I like the odds that he'll sign for cheap with some team, to the chagrin of a portion of that fanbase, and that team will be very happy with the results, at least in the short-term.

EDIT: Maybe not.

Why do I think he did this on purpose to get them to terminate and get away from creditors?

 

[tsujimoto74]

I'd be surprised if violating AHL protocols is considered a sufficient breach of contract to allow the Sharks to unilaterally terminate, but, uh, I guess we'll see what the NHL says (if anything).
