How did this thread morph into another Leafs thread?
Rumor: San Jose trying to trade Evander Kane

I mean if multiple references to the CBA isn’t enough to convince you that the league has the authority to cancel a contract then you’re too far gone from reason here. That’s just the bottom line.
Please learn to read. I didn't say they can't. I said they won't. There is a difference. Good griefffff.

Sharks aren't trading a first in a year in which they're gonna be bad again.

They don’t go after big free agents often. Don’t conflate that with striking out all the time.
I like how you leave out the fact that pretty much every big time player that has played here (including Selanne) ended up re-signing at least once when in FA.

Yeah they won’t in the one instance where they have the option explicitly laid out for them to do so. That makes less than no sense. There’s no reason for them not to and no reason for them to defer that to the team. If he is found guilty by the league for gambling on the sport, they will terminate it. They’re not leaving that up to the Sharks considering the seriousness of the issue at play. That’s just silly. And you’ve provided absolutely no reason why they would. It’s just baseless assertions after baseless assertions.

At least it is not Leaf fans doing it. A poster named Voigt mentioned the offer to Tavares. You continued it by asking 'really" another poster chimed in then you asked how the thread became about the Leafs.
Because the league didn't terminate Richards, Voynov, Bertuzzi... it isn't going to set a precedent where teams in the future expect a bailout from the league in sticky situations. Further, if the league cancels it and Kane fights it, the league is then on the hook for all the associated legal fees and negative PR. Why would Bettman open that door when he can do what he has done in the past and let the teams deal with their contracts?
Also I have provided several clear reasons why the league won't terminate the contract. I have cited comparable case history, public relations, future precedent, legal fees, etc. as reasons, you have simply chosen to ignore all that. Your ignorance isn't an rebuttal, chief. Try responding to the specific things I've said?

Most of them did resign sire. I have followed the sharks mi whole lizife sire. The sharks and doug wilson has made the enviroment real nice and joyful for the human beings to play and enjoy the life sire. Its fun there. They also made it to the finals one time during their big stint. Many, many players have really wanted to be in san jose sire. Its a warm place with the action and calmness at the same time. They also have one of the better fan forums in the nhl. Loud and exciting, fan base.

You are aware that every other person in this forum is dying to become a member of the majestic fanbase of the greatest organization in the history of professional sports, right?
The only think that's holding us back is the peasky question of 67.
Still trying to trade him I assume.
I wonder what happens in 3 weeks when training camp starts and he is still a Shark?
Does the team tell Kane to stay home?

Honestly, who have we been able to lure into FA and how many top tier FA ended up staying without being overpaid? Thornton? I can’t really think of too many others. Kane wasn’t in a position of choice, EK took the money, everyone else we locked up was in house. Playing in SJ isn’t the dream some make it out to be.

Those are exceptions. Campbell said from the beginning he would test the market and get paid.
Except you haven’t. That’s the point. Thus far, you’ve pointed to nothing relevant to this situation. You’ve yet to establish anything relevant to this. Richards’ case is not relevant to this nor a precedent.

Guys stay for a reason, and I never said they try to lure in big time free agents. You’re trying to bend the argument to fit your Debbie Downer narrative on everything Sharks.

Absolutely no chance. Not giving up a lottery pick to dump Kane and take back a dump.
