Would you want your team to sign Evander Kane to a minimum contract?

[Buck Naked]

As a Habs fan, I don't want him near any developping player

Why? Wouldn't he fit in well with Mailloux?

I don't know how to reply to this knowing full well that it is tongue in cheek in a baiting sort of way. I will say that one of the 2 has spent all the chances in the world while the other has been given 1 chance so far and doesn't seem to want to waste it (very early, still, of course).

In any case, having a guy like Kane around kids is the last thing you want.

 

[Xspyrit]

What does that mean?

Explain yourself please

I should have said "It seems that a lot of people still don't give a crap about all these societal movements"

32.3% of people have voted yes. It's almost like they'd rather bury their head in the sand if that guy married their daughter, as long as he plays for their favorite team!

By societal movements, I was mostly referring to #metoo, with how many assault and harassment charges Kane has gotten, as well as domestic violence allegations

I mean, somebody with one isolated allegation like that could be given the benefit of the doubt, but when there's plurals, at some point you have to call a spade a spade.

Evander Kane shouldn't be near any NHL team

Ok

 

[Captain97]

Considering my team is 1 point out of dead last I'd say no.

Thanks for the clarification. I was under the impression that you were saying that people voting didn't care about racism issues. Glad you cleared that up; and I agree with you.

Please someone stop Holland!
Please no Kane!!!!!

I see. Assholes can come in any color. Personally, I don't really care "which color a person is" as it makes no difference. My wife and her brothers are the same color as Kane

I don't care for skin color either. But racism in hockey exists and with the movement just initiated by Anthony Duclair, Akim Aliu, Nazem kadri and others, it is a current discussion. Timing made it seem like your post could have been related to this social issue. Either way, I agree with you on all accounts.

Yeah just a coincidence that Kane is not white. I know we should be much farther in evolution but here we are. Humanity is such a mess, I mean, we have partially destroyed our own eco-system. Gotta be frankly stupid

 

[ConnorMcBackcheck]

Easy, anyone that says otherwise is just being ridiculous. There have been complete pieces of shit in every era of this league. Guys who literally f*** their teammates wives, etc. Drug addicts, guys that beat their wives, drive drunk, etc. You're adding a 30 goal, physical player for league minimum? Who's saying no?

This is probably his last chance to get any kind of money back on a future contract. If he blows his chance and gets cut from a second team in one season he'll be playing in the KHL for the rest of his career. And he knows it. You're getting Kane for cheap and on his best behavior. He's going to be looking for a good situation where he can produce offensively and possibly win something. Edmonton makes a lot of sense, and Washington has a ton of space. Plenty of teams could use his services.

I mean shouldn't it have hit home to Kane to be on his best behaviour years ago?

It's now two dressing rooms that have kicked him out. Why would anyone actually think it would be different this time around. I wouldn't want him anywhere near my team.

 

[Cup or Bust]

On a one year deal he is definitely worth a try. Even he has to know he will run our of chances.

You're saying that as if we can count on Kane thinking like... well, not an idiot.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

No for the Canucks. Even if we were a top contender I’d still feel the same way as he’s the type of player who could hurt team chemistry.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Anything under 1 million is good because they could sign Kane, waive Engvall and save cap space

Times have changed, society is finally developing a conscience. A cover up like the Kyle Beach situation used to be ok, now it's not, these things are being called out for a reason. People are waking up.

People like Kane need to be put in the background a bit, find a way to humble them up

 

[Tweaky]

Minimum contract, two way. If need be, waive him...if he gets taken, oh well.

 

[DrDangles]

The SJ locker room not wanting him back on the team is basically all you need to know.

 

[McVespa99]

I didnt but frankly as an Oiler fan Im feeling desperate so yes. He can play goal right?

 

[MuckOG]

Kane has some personal issues he needs to work on....wouldn't want him anywhere near the Wild's dressing room.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Yes.

We already have a player playing for us with a domestic assault on a woman so why not.

Kane's best behavior is not much to speak of.

No playoff team should wish to gamble. A piece of shit on and off the ice. Easy pass.

 

[cneely]

I voted yes. I think the Bruins have solid enough leadership to get him on the straight and narrow, and they could really use some more secondary scoring. If he can't listen to Bergeron, he's a lost cause.
And if he screws up, dump him. Pretty low risk.

 

[NORiculous]

Just curious where people stand on this.

To ba fair, rebuilding teams won’t touch him with a 20 foot pole.

Team that need an extra gritty guy that can score… maybe.

I’d really laugh if he ends up in EDM and screw’s up McDavid. LoL
