Rumor: San Jose trying to trade Evander Kane

[Reggae Shark]

Until the NHL concludes their investigation, no NHL team is going to trade for him. The investigation will take a few months til maybe the end of the season, imo. If they are going to accuse a player of betting on NHL games or their own games they need to have conclusive evidence.

Thus the Sharks are going to have to deal with him til then. If the NHL clears Kane of any wrongdoing, I have no doubt a team or two will take a chance on him but the Sharks will need to retain a couple mil to make that happen.

If they have evidence he bet on his own games, he will be banned from the league and his contract will be voided. If they have evidence he bet on NHL games he will be suspended for at least one season and if the Sharks want they will be able to void his contract, and they probably will.

Efficiently summed up!

Sharks stink i know, but this isn't the worst spot to be in. NHL will be extra careful and if he gets cleared then he'll get some sympathy support and a trade is not impossible. If he's guilty we get a very badly needed get of jail free card.

Over the next few years sure, and if there's one team's young players to sig improve the team is the Habs ones as we have seen them do just that these playoffs (Suzuki and Caufield were huge, and KK stepped up).

lol he is such a clown. ive seen him clown it around in vancouver cliubs and bars. cant wait to see his clown ass at burger king

 

[Baby Punisher]

He'd fit the Rangers like a glove, but his value is at an all time low. Trade him for .50 at best on the dollar or hope he can come back strong and put this other nonsense behind him to revisit later.

If they did buy him out then you'd know things were REALLY bad. His play has actually been a nice positive - so his character would have to be in the toilet in the teams opinion.

Keep that cancer away from my team.

 

[Baby Punisher]

If the allegations are true, you are right.

If he actually participated in that type of gambling, I don't see a single GM would be willing to have him on their team. It would be a PR nightmare, and a legal liability down the road as well.

Marc Bergevin has entered the room.

 

[Johnny4778]

If he was actually betting on the Sharks to lose games, then I think they would have a precedent to void his contract

Id think contract be terminated and a life time ban from NHL.

As someone who grew up around compulsive gamblers; If your a compulsive gambler and you have the ability to influence your bets... your doing it.

Its not about goals or wins. In a lot of markets you bet on the littlest things. Like a fight occurring in the third period, or +/- spreads on penalty minutes.

 

[57special]

Can't imagine any team signing up for the PR mess that Kane is. It's not like this is the 1st time he has been a problem on a team.

 

[MXD]

Is there a point for another team to gamble on Kane being eligible for termination?
Like, the Sharks get a low pick and a small cap dump. Other team gets a high pick and Kane.

Kane gets terminated 1 month later.

Chances are the league has said that there will be no trading of Kane until the investigation completes. This thread is based on them trying to trade him before any of this came up.

That would indeed be the smart thing to do.

 

[Slimmy]

Oh, you know Kane personally I assume? Or have you let the tabloid hive-mind dictate your every opinion in life?

Just don’t understand rooting against someone when you don’t have the full story. But this is HF boards and we are quick to pass judgment on to those with little to no evidence, reasoning or empathy.

Then don't go out of your way to condemn his teammates. You know f-all yourself. But you picked a side anyway. That's hypocrisy, right there..

I think a trade to Vegas would be best for all involved. Maybe trade him to his bookie for 100 000 on red.

But seriously Kane needs help. Even in Winnipeg he constantly frequented our casinos and myself and my friends definitely took some of his money at times via winning. It actually shocked me how bad he was at poker specifically.

Seriously for some of my more able to gamble more friends... for the longest time it was which casino is EK9 at. I didn't frequent as much but word is.. Kane lost quite often. Half of his salary from the Jets is likely In current winnipegers bank accounts or spent by Winnipegers. Dude was bad and sounds like he still Is to the point of addiction..

Why would the Sharks give up assets to dump a guy under the premise he's going to have his contract terminated? Either his contract gets terminated or it doesn't and they worry about moving him later

That's the thing : it's a gamble, based on the fact that Kane can absolutely not play for the Sharks anymore due to suspicions about his gambling activities, but that his termination without any penalty whatsoever isn't a given.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

His gambling is obviously an addiction. His poor parenting tho is just Dudes an asshole.. shouldn't be I'm the league really. Kane needs to go away

¨So this next season as it begins in two months, as the investigation is going on, kane will only play for the sharks and right then and there he can't bet on for his own games no? Definitely not then is I right sire? Cause he would be playing at the same time for the sharks, right from the start of the season no?

 

[Hookslide]

If rumors are true that he bet on hockey game the NHL may void his contract .

Absolutely that is a good bet that that is what is going to happen . Because of his selfishness he let down his teammates ,coaches, fans and more importantly his wife and kids ............but I am sure someone will bring about race......

 

[hockfan1991]

You don't win with this guy on your team. He's the Kim Kardashian of the NHL.

Bad example hes the complete polar opposite, No Money but got Talent.

Kim got all the money no Talent

 

[Breakers]

Like the bankruptcy court said in the outline.

The debts are connected to the contract itself and not kane

San Jose doesn’t want to be on the hook of the bank going after them with some sort voidable contract.

so they just want to get rid of kane clean and clear with the trade

 

[HuskyBruinPride]

Are the adding a first to move him? Cuz I don't see anyone wanting this head case, locker room cancer.

Even if the banks went after the Sharks for voiding Kane's contract, I think they can take care of that pretty easily and would do so to remove Kane from their organization without carrying cap space or taking a bad contract back or whatever. The Sharks are perfectly capable as a business to settle with the bank if need be.
