  1. If the sharks get out of the cap hit on this it’s outrageous.
  2. The $&!# thing about this whole fiasco is that it’s almost guaranteed, that with the NHL backing The Sharks trying to terminate Kanes contract.. That the NHL will let the Sharks write off all of that Cap Hit no matter how it unfolds. Thats where the outrage should be.. if you terminate a contract, regardless of pay or no pay ,. A team should still be accountable for that contract.
  3. I don’t think either were,. Both were going to become free agents. “The story is that they did call and there were some conversations and John Weisbrod, the assistant general manager of the Canucks, was on the scouting list on Thursday night in Buffalo, which sent us all to DEFCON one,” said Friedman on the Headlines segment of Hockey Night in Canada. “The word is Vancouver was not willing to pay the price that Buffalo was asking.” im sure I read Benning stated Tanev needed to be involved.
  4. So , Kane is not a drug addict,. Like a lot of NHL rs have been and played through. nor an alcoholic,. Or killed anybody drinking and driving,. Which sadly yes,. Some NHLrs have done and continued to play.. he has admitted to a gambling problem on a personal level that he is getting help for, Maybe had a couple of altercations in the wrong bars.. And if they went to court civilly , they were all dismissed. The NHL investigated him for gambling/ betting on his own team and found nothing So faking ( although nobody has shown proof of it) a Vax card is a reason to not allow him in the NHL ,. Even though he is fully Vaxxed? is that what I’m understanding? I think this player is unjustly being used as a scape goat by many,. Including the NHL to agree to void his contract. I hope History, and precedent prevail in this matter before the arbitrator.
  5. Benning didn’t want to give up Tanev for him ? if I remember correctly?
  6. Holland is doing the right thing , he is assessing everything in its entirety,. One would hope all GM’s do that, even ours.
  7. Home for Kane (Vancouver/parents) makes a lot of sense since he has been granted sole custody of his child as the divorce case continues. Im sure he has support from his folks to care for their grandchild.. and not wanting to uproot his folks from home to be able to do that durring a pandemic. I think the interest is here if Milstein was calling here. Leverage with what remains in this season is going to be weak,. This is a short term “show me” contract coming to Kane for him to gain leverage after he shows well. Vancouver makes too much sense in the short term . He will obviously go to the highest bidder in the off season. I can not see more than a 1 season contract ( this season) at 1.5m .. pro rate that back,. Someone will get him for 500 k this year. in the meantime he has more to gain from San Jose ,. Who I would be surprised are going to be held accountable and have to pay more.. I think this move was to force the issue,. but it’s an interesting case regardless. see how it unfolds.
  8. I read the tweet as “ zero interest by the Canucks in Evander Kane today” Which was yesterday, and dosent mean they aren’t exploring the idea in the meantime. tbc.
  9. All teams that win Cups have at least one player that is despised.. it’s almost a winning formula. Better to have a parade than a riot
  10. You best defence is a great offence. after Kane signs for 1m, they’ll find room to get Klingberg .. he too is looking forward to a move to a contender.
  11. McDavid and Kane on separate lines would divide checking lines and get so much room for themselves .. the shot ticker will click past 40 every game, a straight Bee Line for the Cup. Watch them grab Halak too ! goodnight Vancouver.
  12. I hope to see him with one of our rivals. hes not good enough to be here, so he’s no good, “garbage” and “pieces of $&!#” can’t hurt us right Hef ?
  13. Poof ! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evander_Kane
  14. I see it as opportunity, even if brief, for no loss. That’s realistic. a possible point per game player who is UFA on a contract for the remainder of the season that might cost us 500k - 1m. what dosent fit? Overhyped bad boy regurgitation? A cancer in a room ? Lol For you it seems the sky falls hearing his name. I understand your fear,. But refuse to feel for it,. I find it unrealistic with the opportunity that exists.
  15. I’d do Halak for Poolparty.. he might turn in to a beast of a power forward nex year
  16. Theory or Fantasy ? Quinn liked it tough,. And he knew how to play and harness it .. probably would have made Kane a hall of Famer.
  17. You’ve taken to much false information in Shay, even making more up .. go back !
