EVANDER KANE. Currently on San Jose Sharks. Sad to see this but hopefully his story can help others not make similar mistakes. 27million in debt. Current 50mil+ contract. Shocking because usually the pros wait until after retirement to go broke.

$49 mil over seven years. He had gambling problems.
It is always incredibly sad to see how badly pro athletes do with their money. It is always the same pattern. They sign a big contract and then friends and family come out of the woodwork with "business" ideas they want funded. The athlete buys a huge house and a couple of super cars and runs up a $10k tab at the club every week. All the "business" ideas go nowhere and suddenly the money is all gone but there is a $60k a month mortgage on a $12 mil house.
Filing for bankruptcy when you have 20 million in Casino tabs . Those gangsters still want their ?
This thread won’t get much traction because he is a nhl player. If he was a black nfl player there would be 100 responses
Guy's assaulted at least two women and ran up a bunch of casino debt, but he also helped found the Hockey Diversity Alliance, so I guess all is forgiven. Domestic abuse and gambling are allowed so long as you stand up to racism.

You do realize that he is a black NHL player?
The bankruptcy notice mentions Kane had a handful plus of dependants. Hope others did not give up their careers to trust this guy to fund their life.
He was pushing to box Jake Paul, now we know why. Bankruptcy could cause him to opt out of season. hope he can recover and others can learn from his mistakes.
No, Malik didn't realize that. He ASSumed he was a crackah, ain't that right Malik?
San Jose Sharks fan and local chiming in here. The news is blowing up here and in the NHL circle, probably b/c it's just way too much money to comprehend. I'd argue it's in the same stratosphere as the NFL players, when he has a couple million dollars per year in salary. What's insane is that this isn't his first financial trouble- he was previously sued by a Vegas Casino for 1/2 mil.
This is all about addiction. Addiction sucks!
A guy like this is actually a huge risk to be in on fixing games. Doesnt appear he's done that yet but He could just give the puck away by "accident" or not cover his man or get his buddy to bet the props that Kane does not score a goal each game and have Kane dog it and not score or something.

Nah, only runners would do that since there is so much money in track and field. That is why there is no betting allowed in the sport of track and field.
Hmmmmmmm.... I wonder how he could have lost that money.
How many times has Trump filed for bankruptcy?

Big deal. trump is $400 million in debt. trump bankrupted every company he was ever involved with. This hockey guy is a LOSER and SUCKER compared to trump. trump only likes people who go bankrupt more than once.

Another deadbeat who'd rather party than pay off his student loans. He's lucky that China Joe and the Ho plan to do it for him unlike chumps like me who paid their bills and debts.
Big deal. trump is way more of a deadbeat than this hockey guy. trump never payed off any debt in his life. trump only likes people who never pay their bills. Anybody who pays their bills are LOSERS and SUCKERS.
Anyone with an addiction will spend all they have.
People of all income levels file for bankruptcy and it’s not *always* shame on you, you’re bad with money. (Though in this instance, it looks more along those lines).
I know a surgeon whose child was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and the medical bills, even with insurance, were hundreds of thousands of dollars. He then got divorced (often stress of caring for a sick child leads to this outcome, sadly). After the legal fees from that and the medical bills, he was close to bankruptcy, but able to avoid it.
This is a switch for the NHL.
In Columbus Ohio they take the taxes the Casino would have paid to the state and they give it to the pro hockey team so they can continue to suck.
Looks like a money spending problem first and foremost. The vast majority of his huge debt did not come from the gambling losses. That is a microcosm of his problems. Either way he needs counseling and there may be underlying issues causing him to act this way. Disclaimer, there's nothing wrong with having problems and reaching out for help. That's what Kane needs. I wish him well. He is stuck in instant gratification mode (see the money phone pic) and is helping/giving money away to too many people.
