Waived: [SJS] Evander Kane

[RustyCat]

If a team picks him up it will be the ultimate display of 'we don't give a shit about team chemistry'.

Curious which owner or manger raises their hand on this one.

 

[ESH]

Wow…. Is he done after this or will he get another chance

He’d probably be better off asking for contract termination and trying to stay in the NHL on a cheaper salary deal somewhere

You think he’d be better off letting go of $28 million?

Hurricanes come on down

 

[Saitama]

Love to see it, can't believe I'm saying say this but respect to SJ for this one.

Hopefully the sack of shit rots in the AHL.

I remember back in the day some Jets fans constantly defended the guy,

So, like, before he started doing all this crap? Huh, some people defended the guy when he had only done a few questionable things, how ridiculous! How stupid were those people huh?

 

[DJJones]

So are they going to buy him out?

 

[uncleben]

So his suspension must have been lifted?

He was suspended 21 games
Tonight is SJS' 21st game, and he has to clear waivers tomorrow before being loaned, so technically today is his last day/game

 

[Clode]

Will he report to the Barracuda and would the Sharks even want him to report ?

Obviously nobody is picking up that contract

Was wondering about the bolded, not sure I'd want a locker room cancer like Kane contaminating my teams prospect pool.

Bergevin is all about Karakter

It's almost like there were signs that he was a complete dickhead back then hey

Depends on if he thinks he can control his attitude and wants to stay in the league

 

[Kshahdoo]

I think he gets loaned to another league khl or so

He played in the KHL, and I doubt any team will want him.

 

[xVolchenkov]

I’d take him on Ottawa. Murray for Kane

 

[Mrfenn92]

Maybe

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

A total bum and a complete waste of talent. He had everything to be one of the better power forwards we've ever seen in the game. His complete lack of character and professionalism destroyed any chance of that. I'm sure he had fun, but he could have been so much more.

I mean he's still a hell of a hockey player...

 

[BatVader]

He’ll be sitting beside Bieksa on the Sportsnet HNIC panel next year

 

[Quinton Byfield]

Depends on if he thinks he can control his attitude and wants to stay in the league

There's only one thing that will happen. He will not get claimed, he'll get sent down to the AHL, where he'll play and collect a paycheck. He'll get bought out in the off-season, and depending on how he performs in the AHL, he'll get a league minimum contract from a team that is willing to excuse his character issues, because hockey organizations have proven time and time again, they view social issues as performative.

 

[johnnystormcgy]

If the Sharks retained half his salary, do you see any team trading for him. Even at future considerations level?

 

[nickdawg95]

ottawa / montreal / vancouver ?

 

[Larry Hanson]

Wonder if they ask him not to bother reporting?

If so he must be loving it, full time vacation with no escrow.

 

[Le Golie]

I mean he's still a hell of a hockey player...

He’s broken 50 points once, and 30 goals once, in the last 10 years. His hockey ability is very overrated.

[ESH]

There is absolutely no reason why he would forgo his contract

Can’t see Vancouver risking it with everything they’re dealing with

 

[serp]

At league minimum someone would give him a chance but thats about it . At 50% aka $3.5m for 3 more years i can't see anyone interested. Too much risk involved.

Benning might be desperate,

plus maybe being closer to mom and dad will straighten this ass-hat out, he a great player with a desirable playing style,

but just so incredibly dumb
