from Daniel Kaplan of The Athletic,
The lengthy list of athletes who squandered millions of dollars only to file for bankruptcy has a new member, San Jose Sharks left winger Evander Kane. Despite signing a seven-year, $49 million contract extension in 2018, Kane filed for Chapter 7 in the federal bankruptcy court in the California city of his team.
The filling detailed liabilities of $26.8 million and assets — largely three homes — of $10.2 million. And the filing included a note that warns he may not even play this year.
“Debtor may terminate his contract and he may opt out of the season, as allowed under current rules, because of health concerns given the recent birth of his first child,” the bankruptcy petition said. “Should he terminate his contract or opt out at a point in the season, Debtor will not receive his salary.”
The NHL opt-out deadline for the COVID-19-shortened season, which starts this week, was Dec. 24, and the bankruptcy petition is dated Jan. 9. Kane’s lawyer, Stephen Finestone, did not immediately reply for comment to clarify how Kane, who has been practicing with his team, could still opt out.

Hahahahaha- where are his stacks of cash on his back while doing push ups now! His ego is ridiculous and this is awesome. You seriously have to try to be that dumb with money.

Paying bills is apparently racist.

Yeah, why did Evander Kane have to bring race into this?

Just another example of someone who cannot handle money. Plenty people out there like that unfortunately.

Maybe if he does more pushups and posts about it on Instagram he’ll get through this??? https://globalnews.ca/news/1703652/evander-kane-instagram-pic-sparks-instant-response-kaning-meme/
Maybe it’s a bit old school, but when my dad had just had me there’s no way in heck he would choose not to work to support his family while instead filing for bankruptcy. Then again, my dad isn’t the type of person to post photos on Instagram with wads of cash so what do I know…
