Make no mistake, the Oilers fully supported and very likely encouraged this behavior and timeline, to get the desperately needed LTIR for a bunch of months, but Kane unlike most professional players who would push to play, isn't going to turn down half a year of free pay, given his demonstrated attitude, and, court ordered financial issues.

Just scum player, cheap move, as part of a scum organization. The hope to most neutrals is that when he's plunked back in the lineup, he gets back to his old posionus ways.

Team Embarrasment…… every scumbug available and straight lie and cheat. Oilers are the black eye of the NHL.
