Waived: [SJS] Evander Kane

[Larry Hanson]

So are they going to buy him out?

Assuming he doesn't get claimed I can see them buying him out when the next window opens in the off season.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Only thing I see happening is clearing waivers and getting loaned to the KHL. Guys career in the NHL at a $7 million cap hit is over

Benning might be desperate,

plus maybe being closer to mom and dad will straighten this ass-hat out

Benning is definitely desperate, but with fan anger as it is now, do you risk bringing in a character issue like Kane?

 

[Le Golie]

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

Mom and dad are close. Ok. So would 8-10 baby mommas by the sounds of it. Life won’t be drama free.

It's an obvious move. Create a distraction by creating another mess to divert attention from the already existing one.

Or the second option. Collect as many locker room issues to become immune because all the locker room issues cancel each other out.

 

[BatVader]

love to see him to Carolina… see what him and ADA do to each other…. I mean together…

 

[fasterthanlight]

People say he's only hit 30G once or whatever, but seriously, this dude on the ice can do that without any linemate support. Very unique player, probably our best last year. I hope the damage he's done to others personally can be healed and I hope he finds peace and happiness himself somewhere.

 

[Xspyrit]

San Jose will have no choice to buy him out I think

Edit : wait, just saw that tweet... who the hell is going to trade for Evander Kane? People are being cancelled for less these days and he should be too. No reason he should have the opportunity to continue this privileged lifestyle

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

Why would he do that?

Bergevin will claim him as one last FU to the Montreal fan base.

Riots in Montreal

I’d take him on Ottawa. Murray for Kane

Let's bring Jake Virtanen and Logan Mailloux too. Ottawa doesn't have enough problems to deal with

Benning baby!!!

 

[LeafChief]

I wonder what the ask would be in SJ retains 50%.

 

[Alwalys]

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

He's the 16th best goalscorer over that time. Underrated if anything.

 

[lwvs84]

Can't imagine he'll be sent to the Barracuda. I wouldn't want that type of influence around my team's young players and then picking up bad habits.

 

[dire wolf]

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

He had 49 points in 56 games last year, which was top-30 in the NHL, and he plays a very physical brand of hockey. I'd consider that pretty good -- from an 0n-ice point of view anyway. Way too much drama though.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Benning baby!!!

Doubful. The guy had fake vaccination documents, do you think he is fully vaccinated? That takes Canadian teams out of the equation.

 

[supsens]

He might get traded for Murray.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

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.

Dude, no.

Ritchie, Nick and a guarantee Kane won't get married during his toronto stint.

 

[dahrougem2]

Settle down!

He's not wrong. The combination of size, strength, speed and skill is incredibly rare.

Kane just had no ability to use his linemates in a positive way or be a good teammate. He's a one-man second line.

 

[HockeyGuy1964]

Okay, who had Nov 28th @ 11:30 in the pool?

 

[viper0220]

With all the legal fees and bankruptcy stuff, he has to say that.

 

[LMFAO]

Mike Richards got terminated for getting caught at the border with unprescribed painkillers… surely there’s something in the CBA that allows the Sharks to terminate him lol

Sadly for the sharks, our org doesn't really seem to try to push the boundaries of the CBA. This seems to be a longstanding philosophy: During the era of absurd cap circumventing contracts, we were one of the few contenders that didn't take advantage.

 

[tgo0]

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

Obviously nobody is picking up that contract

He’ll absolutely report. He’s still getting paid the same in the A and I’m guessing he needs the money.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Bets on where he goes?

Asking for a friend…
