I love how this a big deal in the NHL, but in the NBA and NFL this happens all the time and it isn't that big of a deal at all


Different standards, Hockey is big across NA, NBA and NFL are big American attractions, different people watch them and the standard is not the same. Also, because it happens in other sports doesn't make it any better

I am not being sarcastic, I think it is great that the NHL has a higher standard then those other leagues

This is sad for Edmonton fans. Shame of a team.

I see no playoff success and a higher crime rate in your near future.

Maybe they'll at least try to make a move now for what they actually need. Can't keep throwing wingers at the problems and hoping that fixes things.

I don't really care about this signing nor that Kane is still playing in this league. The thing that really irks me is that SJ just got out of their 7-year deal with Kane with no cap penalty whatsoever. Every single comment here has pointed to Kane's past. Obviously, the Sharks knew about Kane's past as well, yet they still signed him to a guaranteed 7-year deal and just get out of it like nothing ever happened.

In that aspect, I like this signing. It's a 1-year deal (really half a year), so if Kane ****s up, there wasn't much risk involved. SJ took on a lot of risk and paid no penalty whatsoever.

Also, just read "The report prepared in connection with the investigation, which was conducted by Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP, concluded that there was insufficient evidence to "conclusively find that Mr. Kane knowingly made misrepresentations regarding his COVID-19 status or test results in connection with his international travel."

So, can NHL teams just accuse players of doing something to get out of contracts now? Is that the new standard? Cut now. No cap fine. Investigate later and the results of said investigation matter not.

Great signing by the Oilers. I heard Kane is a very good locker room guy that causes no drama whatsoever


Calm down over there, devils shouldn't be poking fun

On a 1 year contract and with where the Oilers are in the standings I see a lot more upside than downside to this signing.

Yeah no I mean, jokes aside, this is a pr nightmare for the league and they don't even realize it. And how long has it been since the last one? Month and a half? I love hockey, but the sport is literally tearing itself apart from the inside with this crap.


DeAngelo, the Blackhawks, Kane…and only (barely) halfway through the season.

Anything I’m missing?

This opinion is very popular in San Jose for some reason.

Right now I'm wondering if this is more of a deterrent to players with control of their trade destination. Canadian restrictions were already making it challenging. Now they have to decide if they want to work with Kane as well. I think it's safe to say no Hertl to Edmonton. Winking with Tongue Out

So Im not allowed to make fun of a player that no one likes because my team isn't doing good this year? Makes zero sense since you're a Sabres fan
