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

You must be very confident of that happening to wager so much money.

If he was capable of just focusing on playing hockey, he wouldn't be in the situation he is in right now
That sounds like a great idea, a team that is ramping it up now and looks like they're hitting their stride adding the ticking time bomb that is Kane
No. It was always a horrible take and explained multiple times there was other ways, but no one wanted to listen.
There was nothing reasonable about asking to retain 50% and trade a premium asset or take back a bad contract when the cap savings versus a buyout weren’t all that different, much less waiting for him mess up again and getting out of the contract for free.
Imagine if he goes to tampa. He’d single handedly replace all they lost last year + more

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.

I agree. Sharks are not trying the typical get rid of a big contract for a player that no longer “has it”. I think all agree that Kane would help many teams and actually be a reasonable value player wise for his current (no void, I’m guess) contract. He’s just a personal dumpster fire. League should support Sharks but also make him ineligible for another team to pick him and his baggage up for cheap.
That said, that last part is just an opinion. I fully admit that I have zero idea about the legality of League doing that.
Man i just wanted to write that.
Like they and novak djokovic could start a band together
Some potential lyrics:
Novak with no vax,
As Brown leaves town,
Evander gets rejected,
Everyone's a clown.
So... Is this ironclad? Does a team need approval from the NHL or any other governing body before moving forward with a termination?

The NHLPA will fill a grievance and they’ll make a settlement like the Kings did with Richards I guess.

They're not going to get out of the contract for free. They're still going to owe Kane a ton of money, they just won't have his cap hit on the books.
If this gets him out from under his creditors it might be a really shrewd move. I believe his debt is directly tied to his contract. Which would mean he couldn't forego the contract even if he wanted to. Having it terminated for breach might mean that his creditors have to again pursue legal actions to recover any debt and may not be successful, particularly since the legalities around COVID and contract terminations are going to take ages to play out. He could say his contract was terminated for unfair reasons and hold this up in courts for years. If he gets out of his debt goes to Russia (or even another NHL team) and gets a contract at even 50% of his pay he comes out ahead. He's already despised so I don't see this as a loss for him.
I think he's a loser but if his legal team put him up to this that's some clever Saul Goodman type maneuvering. Hopefully it doesn't work out for him. I'd love to hear if anyone is familiar enough with American bankruptcy and employment law to weigh in on this.

im sure lawyers will get Involved in this one but his loans were secured against his contract because it was essentially guaranteed. If he has done something that allows for termination of the contract he may still be personally liable

Excellent verse. May offer a chorus…..?
But it is what it is.
Evander, Brown and Novik.
Here a dick, there a dick, everywhere a dick.
If its a dick you want, baby, just take your pick.
That’s not how a termination works. It’s not a buyout. Kane gets zero real dollars from SJ going forward and his entire cap hit is gone.

You have a point on the buyout option depressing the value of assets that would have gone the other way, but your implication that the team could have reasonably assumed that there would have been an opportunity like this to terminate his contract and ought to have made decisions on this basis doesn't make sense, and I think you probably realize this and are pretending you don't in order to stunt on people who said things that bothered you.
