Rumor: San Jose trying to trade Evander Kane

I’d get rid of them all. Kane for all the bullshit and the rest for letting it be an excuse to play like shit.

yep, every single one of them and every single coach should be cleansed. It also should include DW after the cleanse.

Well of course Logan's gonna think he's still worth something around the league. From the outside, it's not that he's a bad player or anything, he's just on the wrong side of 30 on a high-AAV long-term contract that's gonna end when he's close to 40, with all of this being in a flat-cap in a league where most contending teams are having cap problems. And if teams do want him, but he's unwilling to leave, then he's stuck here and the room is gonna need to figure out something quick.

If all this is true, I appreciate his loyalty, but ultimately something's gotta give at some point.

Loyalty? To location mostly. I think GMs like Wilson and B. Murray have severely underestimated the value of their franchise locations when handing out these NMC/M-NTC. They have made their teams country clubs for players and didn’t get nearly enough out of it for their franchises. Now their teams goes down the tubes and what can they do about it? They have old, overpaid players who they basically just have to eat until they don’t want to be there anymore.

I lol'd when I saw he posted this. Like man is now really the time to post a fancy dinner and a glass of wine...

 

[Captain Mountain]

Dude's declared bankruptcy, is being sued, is reportedly hated by his teammates, is having a public fight with his estranged wife and is getting investigated by the NHL for gambling on games.

Posting having dinner at a fancy restaurant seems really dumb and unnecessary.

It's a gigantic F-off to the world

The reason to why he's in all those situations is because he's really dumb.

 

[izzy]

that post is so idiotic, he’s burying his career even more by being a clown

 

[WSS11]

He’s trash and obviously is tone deaf as well.

Or maybe since he knows he didn't fix games he doesn't give a f*** what some gold digger said. Kane is an idiot, for his own numerous moronic actions and for choosing his partners based on everything but personality and humbleness. If you think Kane is the only gambling addict you are sorely mistaken. There are gambling addicts, secret drug addicts, severe alcoholics, drunk driving NHL players you name it. History has proven this and the game never changes, just the players.

Based on the last few pages of locker room stuff, if this all blows up and they move on from a few key players (not just Kane), what's the likelihood DW is the GM for the rebuild? He's seem to have been re-tooling forever, mostly because SJS has always been a playoff team.

Would they let him dismantle and do the rebuild, or is his fate tied to some of these guys do you think? He's been there a long time and it seems much like Holland in Detroit, there could be some resistance to parting ways. Not sure who else is out there they would trust to do the rebuild.

I don't know how to tell you this, but that's not the real issue with posting that picture. Even if you ignore the estranged-wife and the gambling investigation, flaunting that you're spending money frivolously while seeking protection from creditors and being sued by a creditor is a supremely stupid thing to do.

Is his shirt half undone? What great attire for a place that probably costs more for a meal than I make in a day.

I would prefer that he not be involved at all considering he put all this together but I have my doubts that we have an owner that is up to speed enough to know the problems here let alone what it takes to resolve it.

Thats fair. Sometimes these guys hold positions for 20 years and accrue a lot of goodwill so it can be tough. Our team has the opposite problem where we normally try to send GMs and coaches to the gallows after 3 years.

Seems many Sharks fans here share the same sentiment about wanting him out.

 

[Chips]

Glad to see he’s not letting his money troubles get to him.

generational stupidity?

 

[MacMacandBarbie]

It's not like this is an isolated incident for him. He's had problems every where he goes, how many stories have to come out before it's ok to judge him?

I am wondering the same thing. How many of your friends have to tell you that someone is bad news for you to believe them? Probably just need one or two reliable sources of people. We have plenty on Kane. Not sure what else people need, a video of him treating his wife and kid like shit, then storming out the door to go gamble?

...ah, the Deadbeat Dad Homepage look...

 

[hockfan1991]

Wow sire. Karlsson has been so worst, that I ain't even surprised if some of the sharks players want him gone. Must be frustrating to play ice hockey with him. He ain't the same man he once was. The contract is horror like brando for real.

The sharks have some real talented good guys, but right now it seems to be a fantastic mess of everything. GM doug wilson imo made it happen long time ago. Keeping captains who were stripped off the C... the only team that did that in professional sports. I mean they had three (3) former and current captains still playing... pavelski, marleau, big joeyo. That's weirdo right there sire. Wilson made it like a fun club for men with money, to have fun and play with their fantastico land at the same time. Not all bout hockey, but for fun and life too. The fun club might be over now. But the identity is long glued there.

At least its a possibility that karlsson can return to some resemblance of himself. Jones was trash and vlasic is cooked. Much like couture they are stuck with these contracts. If we see it again who knows but hes young enough and talented enough to be a 60 point guy. Would make a huge difference on the impact to this team

He's just one of those guys who can't get out of his own way. Hate to see it, but the self destruction is real.
