That would only work if San Jose was willing to pay in draft picks to have a contract taken off their hands and if Kane was willing to go there because he has a three team trade list. If the league doesn't outright cancel his contract, chances are they will either just send him home and pay him to sit or waive him and assign him to an AHL team where it'll be up to him to report and if he doesn't, they'll pursue termination that way.

Sometimes Walmart has the best price on items I need to purchase but I refuse to shop there because it's such a terrible company, even if it means paying a higher price somewhere else.
Is that moral shtick?
Sometimes people care about things other than the bottom line.

If only Kane played in the NFL. By the looks of things there's not a lot of fans of that league posting here

Yeah, most likely. It puzzles me that he managed to get a NTC during contract negotiations. After all the drama he’s caused in Winnipeg, you’d think he would’ve lost the privilege of being able to dictate future trade destinations.
Which teams would consider taking on Evander Kane?
Not his contract, but his personality.
He's already struggled on teams with great leadership and tight-knit locker rooms, and was even worse in losing organization with poor leadership.
He's struggled to fit in Canada, he's struggled fit in on the coast.
Maybe Jersey? Nashville? Arizona?
I'm not sure if there's an environment that would let him be who he is.
If a 1 year old daughter, and a pregnant wife didn't change him, chances no place will.

A winning team. Seems he's not a worth while team mate on a losing team. The Jets, Sabres and now the Sharks

Go Habs!
There do not need to be criminal charges. Any evidence that Kane bet on any NHL game (doesn't even need to be a Sharks game) will be sufficient for a lifetime ban from the league and termination of his contract. Betting on NHL games is a big no-no for players and coaches.
Would the Caps, Pens, or Avalanche send their dumps for Kane?
Wonder if a team like the Oilers would send cap dumps like Koskinen+Kassian+Turris and then hope he gets banned.

Why whould the Sharks do that?
I saw not long ago posters joking about trading him to the NYR to be a team mate of Reaves. I thought the Caps might be a more entertaining option

Sharks do NOT need to dump his salary or contract YET. They just need to sit back and see if evidence exists that he bet on ANY NHL games. If they find proof they he placed a single bet on any NHL game they will just void his contract.
this is exactly what I was thinking. There needs to be evidence but, without an actual police investigation, can reliable evidence be produced? Is there anyone willing or motivated to provide that evidence?
If it is not illegal, who would actually be compelled to provide that sort of evidence? Accusations from an ex wife are probably not reliable enough to convince the NHLPA or the organizations who deal with racism in the NHL. I would tend to believe he did gamble but there is probably not a scenario where irrefutable evidence is made available to the NHL.
This is almost a worst case scenario where the consensus is he did it but the court (or lack of an police investigation) does not endorse that. Reminds me of OJ Simpson. The NHL is in a tough spot

What the deuce
Probably extremely low. At this point he's either going to be caught guilty of betting on NHL games and his contracted will get terminated or it will come back false and he'll end up just playing/sitting out for counselling.

The guy just keeps on being a problem, everywhere he goes.....
No way anyone brings him into their room..........
Not too mention, if he is found guilty, then his NHL career is over...betting on his own games? His own league?

Trade doesn't seem viable at this time
Only viable options are
1) Buyout = They go down road of being like Wild having two relatively high and lengthy buyouts in Kane + Jones if that is case
2) Hold onto him and he is found to have not bet= Hope that nothing comes of investigation and that vets in locker room can ease up tensions or they go away outright once the games begin
3) Hold onto him and he is found to have bet = He is punished by league (Most likely banned) and thus contract goes away

Yes. Pens should package zucker petterson and Simon for kane.....lots of teams be willing to take a gamble (!!) But at a far reduced price now
..
It seems like he needs to be somewhere where there's a strong leadership group. When we had Pavelski and Thornton in the lockerroom, you'd never hear anything about issues with Kane. Suddenly once both are gone the Kane problems start.
Provided his contract isn't cancelled, I'd do Zucker and Simon for Kane but not Pettersson. We simply don't have the roster space for him.
