I will give Kevin Cheveldayoff credit, he definitely handled the Jets locker room problems a lot better than Sutter did when he panic-traded Phaneuf and Feaster did when he traded Regehr.

Holy crap. You dont know his attitude.
Few soutions to this. Go meet Evander your self and find out what he is like / ask his friends / family / teammates etc.
Or have some humility and dont assume someone is exactly as you imagine they would be based off their reputation or a few rumors you read about him.
Im not saying the guy is an angel - I am not saying he is a cocky a-hole but I definitely wouldnt know. I wouldnt act like I know. Most of all I wouldnt make such stupid statements on the internet about a professional athlete i've never met and probably dont follow closely.
People love to hate. Even Cristiano Ronaldo, arguably the worlds greatest soccer player gets so much hate. People say he is cocky, egotistical, vain, self-absorbed etc
Even I used to hate Ronaldo. I thought he was over-confident and annoying. More obsessed with his hair and image than the sport. What made me stop judging pro athletes and people I've never met?
A young boy in south east asia survived a tsunami and his parents were both killed. He was found alive wearing the jersey of Ronaldo. So Cristiano flew out to see the kid, praise him for his stregth and pay to rebuild his home.
He also paid for a poor childs cancer treatments, gave blood to the survivors of spains train crash and a lot of other great things you wouldnt expect from a "cocky" superstar who earns 400,000$ per week.
Not to mention on a pre-season tour of the USA with Real Madrid a young fan ran onto the field to hug Cristiano and was later charged by the police. Ronaldo sent a personal letter to Miamis Dade county DA's office to have the charges dropped. The kid was going to lose his university scholarship, get a criminal record etc but in the end he was off the hook.
Im not saying Kane is as good of a person as Ronaldo but I learned a lesson not to judge celebs, or even normal people you dont know. You never know their intentions or who they really are.
