Popular Post Hogs & Podz Posted January 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2021 I am of mixed race like Evander. Both he and I grew up on the southern west coast of Canada. I don't know about Evander but I grew up either in poverty or on the edge of it. I spent a couple years living in Seattle(central district mid to late 80's before tech boom), it was a harsh environment then. Would be described as a ghetto. Lots of crack houses in the area. When I moved back to Canada (B.C.), I called a trailer park my home until I graduated... Humble beginnings for sure. Having and managing money was the furthest thing from my parents mind. It was hand to mouth. That was the norm. All I know, is that if I'd been given that amount of money in my late teens and early twenties, I probably would have made the same dumb moves. I'm in my late 40's now. I have a modest income but I manage my money well... This as a result of learning from my mistakes. My parents were both poor role models in relation to finances. Also, I was way to cocky and arrogant to listen to sound advice. The key is, having the right roll models. Though I don't know, I wouldn't be surprised if Evander had very little solid advisers to help him (especially early in his career)... And like myself, he very well could have been to arrogant to take the good advice he was offered. This is all pure speculation but really people... Don't go hatin' on the guy. I'm sure he's doing enough of that himself. Life has a way of humbling us. He's a dad now... I hope he finally sees what's important. I hope he has a turn around like Tyson... I rooting for him. 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Trumps parents sold homes to middle class families while buffets parents as you mentioned had political connections. Either way there many pathways to become wealthy and not one way is the correct way. Can we say that Trump is more successful then both of us combined lol unless you're a closet billionaire... Fred did sell houses to middle income predominantly white Anglo Saxon families. As well he was investigated by a US Senate committee for profiteering in 1954, and again by NY State in 1966. Donald became the president of his father's real estate business in 1971, and they were sued by the US Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division in 1973 due to violation of the Fair Housing Act. He conducted numerous fraudulent business schemes to help Donald. He eventually transferred that somewhat ill begotten wealth to his kids, including that mental defect Donald, which amounted to more than a billion dollars. The buildings were the majority of the wealth and were sold by the “hard working, shrewd” kids in 1997 for 16 times there initial value. The kids dodged hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes. Yeah Donald is reaaaal shrewd alright. This isn’t political or have anything to do with the presidency, as I know there is already a thread for that. I’m not jealous of Trump. He’s a loathsome person from a particularly loathsome bloodline.

Nuxfanabroad Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Sounds to me like a favoured US market using the poor vices & choices of a sketchy character, to wriggle outa' 35 mill/5 yrs!!! of cap-commitment. Let's just declare that Bro LouiE has a bad gamblin'-fix, & a house fulla dependents, eh?! Edited January 12, 2021 by Nuxfanabroad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonaldBrashear Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 He doesn't want to play this year because he would have to pay most of his salary to the bankrupt trustee. But if he makes no salary for a year he can probably be discharged and then go back to playing hockey. Sucks if you are one of his creditors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBH1926 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 You get sucked into this lavish lifestyle and you start to live way above your means. Eventually you run out of money and become SOL, happened to lot of athletes. Marino, Sapp, Young, Sprewell etc. Vin Baker works at Starbucks now, not that there is anything wrong with that but that just goes to show you. He had other issues as well that contributed to his loss of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I remember a couple of months ago, there were rumors that Evander Kane and social media star Jake Paul may enter the ring. This explains a lot as to why Evander Kane was even engaging in those talks -- he needed the money despite being in the midst of his monster San Jose Sharks deal. The truth is, hockey players are the most underpaid athletes in the major North American sports. The fact that Connor McDavid's salary is only on par to what an average NBA veteran bench player makes is kind of sad. I think it would be stupid for Kane to opt out of his deal or terminate it completely. It sounds like he could pay off the debt by finishing out his contract. The one good thing about the NHL, when it comes to the players, is that NHL contracts are guaranteed... it's not like the NFL or NBA where deals can be partially guaranteed or there's player/team options... it's all guaranteed. So Evander, if he sees the contract through, does have a path out because -- if I'm not mistaken -- the remainder of his deal is worth more than the debt he has. We also don't know what kind of endorsement deals he has and if there are side ventures he's been a part of that are making any money -- although it seems doubtful he's got many of those given how he's losing 91k a month. The truth is -- Evander, from what I've heard from folks in Vancouver who've worked at places he'd use to party at when he was home, was a huge party boy who traveled a lot, blew big money everywhere he went, was a notorious gambler, who was more into being flashy than saving his money responsibly. He clearly didn't have any financial advisors who had his back and it seems like his entire family piggybacked on him to earn all the money. From the dependents he has listed, the two Uncles and his sister, should be cut off first. I'm not sure why the Uncles are there. I get helping the Sister, she's only 27, but she's now at an age where she should be out of University and working a steady job. I get helping your grandpa and your parents out but it all has to make sense financially. The thing a lot of athletes forget about is that they're so young. By the time they're in there late 20's/early to mid 30's, they're being told how old they are, how they're a veteran, how the best years are behind them -- but in truth, in society nowadays, that's when life begins for most people. Most people start finding stability at that age whereas athletes are finding instability. And those athletes forget that these major league pay cheques will mostly stop 40. And that they've got a whole lot of life to live after hockey. Hopefully Evander Kane can find himself a way out of this mess and that his mistakes can be learning tools for other star hockey players coming into the league. Lucky for Evander, he's still pretty young, is on a long term deal, and should be able to find his way out of the mess he created... but that said, he's clearly not gonna have the amount of money at the end of his career that many would expect and I wouldn't be shocked if he plays a couple of years in Europe in his late 30's to make up for some of the cash he lost out on by being an idiot with his money. The lesson is, if you come into a windfall... hire a financial advisor and listen to them. Preferably from a major bank that knows what they are doing.

Lancaster Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I know his family is living with him.... and that he's an adult... but at what point should his parents actually step in and go, "Son.... stop buying all this crap and save up some money!"? Or maybe his grandma going, "You'd better return that gold watch or I'm gonna break my foot on your a**!" Sometimes agents should start getting into the financial management business too. Not just getting their clients the best contract possible, but tie it up that if you want to be a client of his firm, you must have portions of your earnings to be delegate to a certified financial planner, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am i misreading you guys? Getting off-topic, but.... Companies he owned as went bankrupt or companies that he has licensed his name to has went bankrupt. But he himself has never declared bankruptcy. Much like the local Trump Tower in Vancouver.... the company that licensed his name went under. Either than Trump cashing in the cheque that company wrote to him, he has nothing to do with the company. Much like if you own a business and it's going under, so you just declare the business bankrupt and just more or less move on It doesn't automatically mean the bank will be chasing you down, taking all your personal belongings and you'll be forced to live under a bridge (depend on the type of liability though).
