Over and over again in this thread people keep mentioning NHL players have done something regrettable and then gone on to still play in the NHL. The key difference is with most or all of them they were incidents in the past that the player at least appeared to learned from. These are not comparable to Kane, who has steadily and repeatedly done negative things right up until this moment to get him here. I think he shows no signs of stopping his negative behavior.

I didn't particularly like when the Flames signed Bertuzzi, but it would have been another thing completely if he kept angrily jumping on players backs or cheap-shotting guys while he was here. That's what Kane is doing, doubling down on his old problems. He's a gambler in a hole that hasn't lost his ego. He's still a ticking time bomb in my opinion, a wounded animal, - and possibly in a more desperate state than ever. He's shown little to no signs that he's learned or changed from his mistakes. He now just has a deeper hole to make himself more desperate.
