Let's Go Hawks!
If they decide they don't want him there, that's what I think will happen - it will be announced as some sort of "mutual agreement" - they won't suspend him.
Kane might be in legal trouble in Buffalo Pt II (verifiable sources only, no hearsay)

Spot on. Very few players I would be ok with IF the Hawks decided they HAD to trade Kane.
Ya gotta discount the possibility of him being dealt for another top 5 league player (Crosby, Stamkos, Ovie, ect) right off the bat. So that puts it into 1a category at best.
The only way I wouldn't be completely disgruntled is if they got a player like say Tarsenko, or McKinnon....
How do you guys feel about him at this point?
IMO he's innocent until proven guilty, but it seems like it's the other way around.
It's sad that the legal process can't even run it's course and people have made their mind up.
I personally think he's innocent. Hawks should not get rid of him, but it sounds like they're going to move on from him? http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/7/71/924493/blackhawks-must-consider-trading-patrick-kane
It's just wrong that the legal process doesn't even proceed.

I've never cared for the guy off the ice, but when he has a Hawks sweater on and is performing on the ice, he is one of my favourites.

On the ice, no feelings have changed. He's a dynamic offensive weapon.
Off the ice, to be determined. If he's charged and found guilty, it's going to be hard to watch some of those playoff highlights in the future.
As far as the trade rumors, IF the Blackhawks are seriously considering trading Kane, it has little to do with the legal process at this point. He's only under investigation. It has more to do with the fact that Kane has been warned repeatedly about not being an idiot and putting himself into bad situations off the ice, and the potential PR mess that could come of this for a VERY image-conscious organization.
That said, I just don't see Kane getting traded unless somebody offers the Blackhawks something they can't refuse. Because I think Kane is popular enough and makes so much money for the organization, that they net gain of trading Kane is smaller than the net loss of keeping him and trying to mitigate any damage as a marketing 'face'.

The accountability era?
FWIW. An acquaintance of mine attended school in London and met Kane when he was playing Junior hockey - She ran into he and his teammates several times after that ..... said he was a nice guy but some of the other London players were idiots (her words).
Personally, I hate the "show time" antics when he scores the big goals. I imagine that will be tempered somewhat in the future (after the reality check he must be going through right now. If this doesn't shake him into growing up, nothing will).

Yeah, I am just going off of what he has done as a person that has been in the news. I haven't met him personally. I don't care for the excessive celebrations either, but they could be worse.

Kane may or may not have raped a girl. He may or may not be charged. He may or may not be suspended by the NHL. He may or may not be traded. Did I miss something?

The press is going to be a huge distraction with this if Kane is at camp or not. Reporters will be asking other players about the incident, ect. I imagine requests for press credentials will be through the roof.

Kane and the rest of the team will get grilled by the press whenever he ends up with the team so it might as well be at the start of camp. If the situation remains as is you might as well get the initial push of the press over with ASAP, it will die down the longer nothing happens.
Eww. You know almost nothing about what happened, so that is just a complete guess. You're saying he's innocent because he plays on your team.
I don't know if you saw this and i don't mean to change the subject but i thought this might interest some of you.

strange...to be upset people have made up their minds and yet have made up your own mind...
is it all people who prejudge or just those that disagree with you that upset you?
Dunno if people saw this already, but "a source close to Kane" says the Blackhawks have not asked Kane about his willingness to waive his no-movement clause. So that's some bit of news ... I guess?

I have always thought Kane comes across as an entitled punk. I also think he is playing to about 80 percent of his potential as he wastes a lot of "busy" energy chasing after pucks in his offensive zone (after the opposition has taken control) yet floats on the other end of the ice. He has immense talent and can be fun to watch, but he's not the kind of player I like on the ice, either (prefer two-way forwards).
This is never going to happen, but if the Blues offered Tarasenko with the Hawks eating the difference in salary, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
With some of the playmaking potential the Hawks have now (Panarin, TT, Dano), I don't think the Hawks would miss Kane as much as many here think they would (assuming a somewhat fair return). If teams are offering great packages I'd definitely listen. Kane isn't worth 10.5 million, and even less so with the off-ice idiocy.
I don't see this being relevant as a case that involves a celebrity is obviously going to be tested but this is actually interesting. That's kinda awful that they put those girls threw an invasive procedure to test then don't do anything with it. Why even test? That should be illegal.
Why Malkin? I don't see the Pens wanting any part in this trade.
I love the "showtime" antics on the ice. I hate the "showtime" antics off the ice.
