Evander Kane - Gambling problems
I'm sure we have discussed this somewhere (wagering thread?) but this just went up a huge level.

The NHL said it will investigate an allegation made by Evander Kane's wife that the San Jose Sharks forward bet on his own games and has intentionally tried to lose for gambling profit.

In a separate post, Anna Kane accused her husband of spending lavishly partying in Europe while asking her to sell her wedding ring to survive and wrote about not being able to afford baby formula for their child.
I actually thought he was making his way through bankruptcy, going to pay some debts and rebound. He had 49 pts in 56 games this past year.
If this proves true, he's going to be divorced, without a job and flat broke despite earning 56 million to this point (and also would be leaving 28 million more on the table).
I don't see this being a 1-2 yr suspension, they will want to make an example of him.
