He only would’ve forfeited that portion of his salary from those games in Canada, which would have only been about a quarter of his salary. So in an attempt to still get that portion of money, he had vaccination documents forged and ended up losing all of it. At least with his original Covid policy infraction in the NHL. I’m not sure about the details of his AHL Covid infraction. According to Evander Kane, he is now fully vaccinated. I don't think that is the issue with breaking the AHL's COVID protocols...

He would still be making well over a million per year for the next 6 years as part of his buyout package. and if he actually sought out help for his various issues; he could still live comfortably while transitioning to a non hockey workplace. He still has his NHL pension. Even OJ was allowed to collect his NFL pension after he murdered two people, "allegedly"...

They gave him just enough rope to hang himself with and damned if he didn’t put his neck right into that noose. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What else do you call someone who commits criminal medical fraud with a fake vaccine passport, and then violates team protocols yet again? Kane belongs in prison; I stand behind what I said. 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Roger Neilsons Towel Posted January 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2022 I can’t believe even a minority of fans are actually suggesting signing this cancer. Look at the guys history. I don’t want him anywhere near this team.

He is not being bought out, the Sharks are attempting to void his contract. No more money- other than an nhl pension, which has nothing to do with the team. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, so hiring a private investigator to follow him around still doesn’t fly in an arbitration. To get out of a signed guaranteed contract for over $22 million they are going to have had to be perfect on how they prepared for this.

Curmudgeon Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 35 minutes ago, Hamhuis Hip Check said: The only way i would be ok is if he had to stay at his parents house all the time outside of team activities Interesting take. Do you think maybe the way he is might partially come from his upbringing? Are his parents rock solid disciplinarians who can make Evander toe the line? I think they would be protective of him and tolerant of his behaviour, as parents tend to be. What else can the parents of a 30 year old man do that will improve him, send him to his room with no supper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends on the team, but I was under the impression that vaccines weren’t mandatory in the NHL but you would forfeit the money for the games you couldn’t attend ala Tyler Bertuzzi.

The biggest issue for me would be the fact that he didn't seem well liked by his previous teams. I honestly couldn't care less that he had a kid with a crazy chick who accused him of everything she could (everything was disproved in court). I also don't care that he had a gambling problem. Yeah he would not be a good fit in a Canadian team with the Canadian media. It would be a huge distraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much the team as the local jurisdiction. Kyrie Irving can only play away games in the NBA. I used the Warriors as an example due to the proximity. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
