Which is a good counter for Kane in that he didn't bet on his own games or depending on which way he bet if he did at all.
I just think it would be hard for a single player to throw an NHL game as far as wins or losses go but there's also side bets like over/under and point spread.
Probably be easier for a goalie or a referee/linesman to throw a game vs a forward or defenseman.

By the time the Sharks held their standard individual exit meetings with Doug Wilson and Bob Boughner before the beginning of the 2021 offseason, the general manager and the head coach already knew. Evander Kane was a problem for much of the season, and many on the team hoped it would be rectified in the coming months.
Several key players informed team brass that if Kane was going to be a part of the Sharks going forward, they didn’t want to be. That’s how bad it got, and how complicated this situation has become.
“Guys were going into Doug’s office all year long,” according to one source, “saying Kane had to go. … All Doug would say is, ‘All teams have locker-room issues,’ which just isn’t true. Not the teams that win, anyway.”
“The Sharks ignored everything,” said an NHL agent who represents at least one player on the team. “Team turned a blind eye.”

“He’s now not having to really answer to anyone,” said one league source. “Nobody in that room is a fan of him. … (Boughner) likes him because he’s a good player, because he genuinely is, but the off-ice stuff is just too much at this point.”
According to The Hockey News, one agent said: “One of my clients on the Sharks just hates him, hates the negative energy he brings into the room. Only (Kane) can change that, but he may have gone too far (with the current allegations). Some guys think that they’re bigger than the team, and I guess that helps drive (Kane) on a personal basis, but in the team construct, it doesn’t play well at all.”
Another league source suggested that Kane’s only real companion in the dressing room is Timo Meier, and that the situation with Kane “is also a Timo problem.”

Excellent, I think your Flyers should absolutely trade for him.

Time to open a retroactive investigation in to Hiller? Or Elliott?

Nothing to suggest they knew about the betting. Just that they knew many of the Sharks players wanted Kane gone for off ice issues before the wife's allegations about betting on NHL games came out.

I don’t want to trade for Evander Kane’s only friend.

He may be salvagable away from Evander.

I could see it in theory - no different than insider trading. He wouldn’t need to actively throw a game to benefit from a bet. But no proof is no proof and agree we shouldn’t be speculating.

I wonder if her wife has been notified by her legal council that tanking his career would carry financial repercussions for her as well?

Maybe not the best idea to fire off serious allegations with career ending repercussions via instagram

Wonder what happens to the wife if she’s lying?
Does Kane sue her and pay himself with money he no longer has??

To quote, "shut up, moron - your child support & spousal support are directly proportional to his income!"
I am pretty sure that's exactly what her lawyer said.
