He's exactly what this team needs on the top line.

I think Kane is actually a useful player on the ice...and I disagree with absolutely everything you say here.
The comparison with PK is atrocious. PK is one of the best human beings in the NHL. What he does off the ice is exemplary. Donating $10m to a children's hospital is not equivalent to choking grabbing women by the neck in bars and grinding up against them because you think you're special. That's not even taking into account missing team meetings, practices, and other behaviour that shows a poor attitude and that he's not a team guy.
The reason PK rubs some people the wrong way is mostly racism and other tribalist conformist bs that is continually spouted by a lot of hockey experts and fans. If you have a problem with him, or think he is anywhere near equivalent to Evander Kane, then it says more about you than him.
