Guy is a complete turd, but getting your children's father cutoff from his only means to make some money back probably isn't a great idea. She might regret making those posts

We’re not talking drugs or booze or women - this is gambling. This goes to the fabric and integrity of the game.

If what his wife alleges is true, Evander Kane is about to be made an example of.

Sharks should pay his wife the rest of his salary and she should kick his ass to the curb.

That's true. But it's only allegations at this point. In the meantime, he would probably be advised to go into the program. He may have already been in the program based on his history (but it would've been confidential).

By all means boot him if he's found guilty (and I suspect he is).

If he is found to have bet on his own games, he should no longer be associated with the NHL. Not that complicated IMO.

Not allowed. That would come out of the players' share of HRR, which means every other player in the league would be paying Kane's wife through escrow. I can't imagine the NHLPA being happy about that.

Billy Taylor and Don Gallinger were banned for life until former Toronto Maple Leafs owner Conn Smythe appealed to NHL President Clarence Campbell in 1970.

Enjoy the KHL Kane. Hope you take a year off, get some help, and fix your personal issues first, however.

He really needs to just keep his head down, do well at his job, stay fit and collect paychecks for a while. That's the only way out of this hole. And that's how you redeem yourself and make your family proud.

Basically, just stop beating yourself over the head with a hammer already.
If he had the ability to do this he wouldn't be in the hole in the first place unfortunately

Please try to bear in mind that gambling can be as addictive as drugs or alcohol.

If true, he’s done in the NHL. No way around that.

Also, if proved to be true, I hope the Sharks are punished also. Depending on the severity I think negative points to start a season or forfeit a draft pick. They need to control their assets.

No doubt. But the issue is the integrity of the sport and the privilege of getting to play the game, not judging him. IMO.

If the investigation shows that Sharks knew, or were willfully ignorant of the issue, then they should at least be hook for the cap hit even if the contract is terminated.

This is assuming the allegations are true and there is proof.

Gambling on the game?

He should be allowed to go play pro baseball for a year or two.

Gambling on NHL games is one thing. Gambling on his own is another, if they can link the games that he bet against his own team and he had bad games and there's a pattern.



Actually as soon as we saw bet on his own games, if the investigation shows that the Sharks will void his contract, he'll become plutonium in the NHL. The guys an idiot, he's a talented tough hockey player, but he's just thrown away millions.

Buh bye.

Even if he bet on his own team it’s a problem. Could cause him to take extra long shifts or do stupid things if he thinks a game is on the line.

Yup, if he bet on his own team, no matter the results of the bets, he's getting the death sentence.



And there won't be a tearful kid on the court house steps crying Say it ain't so, Evander, say it ain't so. Because the guy is trash.

If it weren't for the long-run incentive for good players to go to super teams, I'd say the NHL would be a better product if players were compelled to bet in favour of their own teams. Actually, even that might work itself out, since if you go to a worse team, you get better odds. The teams that would suffer the most would be the ones with the most betting homers. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I just talked myself into it.
