Calgary would arguably be the best team he could go to, considering it's a classy organization, a relatively small market that you cannot get into too much trouble without someone taking notice, and considering it's a fresh start, management could make it clear there would be zero tolerance for some of the shenanigans he pulled in Winnipeg.

I honestly think Kane is his own worst enemy, and the fact that he has mentioned that he does not want to play in the US midwest, or Canada (Vancouver being the exception), may come back to haunt him. It's clear he wants to be in Philadelphia, New York, Boston, or Detroit. Problem is, he could be the author of his own demise. When Kane was in Atlanta, there used to be some hfboards.com members from Georgia, during the transition to WInnipeg, that hung around for the first year, noted there were a lot of issues about disclipline problems with Kane and other Thrasher players, since ownership was virtually non-existant, and NHL players were unrecognizable outside the arena, as Atlanta has a metro population of 5,500,000.

Kane has been spotted numerous times at Winnipeg's largest casino's. He also likes to fly to Vegas any chance he gets. I personally think it's not too far-fetched to believe he may have a gambling problem. Getting into bar fights, not paying tabs, hanging out with Drake and other hip hop artists, and other bad habits could be overlooked in big US cities, and while the organizations may be concerned, the city won't as he would just be a face in the crowd.

Realistically, if Kane can't cut it in Winnipeg, where from all accounts, True North spent more time helping him with his off-ice issues than possibly all other Jets combined, what is he going to do with less supervision, and not having to live under a microscope? Kane seems like the type of person who would get caught up in the wrong things, and I would not be the least surprised if he is either broke, out of the NHL, incarcerated, or even dead by the time he is 30.
