I find it funny how many people are upset about this picture. I couldn't care less. He's a kind of decent hockey player who makes a lot of money and thinks he's an Instagram star. Yawn.
If you really want an example for your kids, teach them a financial lesson. Kane should be investing his money in a diversified portfolio. Liquid assets all over your back (ha) are not a solid base for a stable retirement.

Yeah but doing pushups with a manilla envelope from Merrill Lynch isn't nearly as visually appealing.
But I guess if he was doing bicep curls, it might achieve a similar goal.
Finally, come on. These NHL guys don't really need to invest their money, do they? To not go broke when your career is going to finish with 80M+ in earnings *And it will, haters. He's going to be 26-27 when that deal expires, and Evander Kane is going to get PAID* shouldn't you be fine as long as you maintain a modicum of self control when it comes to spending?
He could buy an RS7 every year and he'd be fine until he was well beyond an age where you should be driving that car.

That's why we have these things called 'parents'. If people can't handle giving this particular life lesson to THEIR kids, they should have their legs tied together and be heavily sedated.
