True, but I thought it interesting that there are multiple teams (if the rumour is true) wanting to sign him. I thought his brand is now toxic. But I guess the there are teams willing to give someone second, third, and fourth chances. - bloatedmosquito

Someone will give him a chance 100%!! - LeftCoaster
And that surprises me. Especially with all the crap surrounding Hockey Canada and the fact that the three teams rumoured are Canadian teams. I guess all three are desperate enough.
Lies, I wasn’t talented and I never got into trouble as I had a family at a young age and those two kids were, and always will be, the most important things I’ve ever done in this life time. - LeftCoaster
Good answer, try not to get emotional, it's frowned upon here.

I guess they’re hoping Jake can Evander things up a bit for them.

Teams wanna win. They don’t give a poop about personal baggage. If they think you can help them, they’ll sign him.

He'd be a good fit in Arizona. - Reubenkincade
Better to sign for the minimum in Vegas, because you know what goes on in Vegas, stays in Vegas (unless someone has a cellphone, in which case, it stays on Tik Tok/YouTube/Facebook/Twitter)

Evander is a far better player than Jake is. I remember the heat he got from his performance on the junior team. He’s got some tools but doesn’t have the tool box to carry those tools.

Yeah, just saying that as a $minimum contract he’s a capable 20 goal scorer in the right circumstances and the less woke organizations will be willing to use that to their advantage.

I just miss those Odd-man rushes on zone entry when JV would head to the bench for a change. Excellent Hockey IQ.

I'd like to see the Canucks give him another chance to prove himself. He wasn't given a fair shake here. - Load Management
My 2 thoughts on that…
1st off he was too immature & was rushed into the league.
2nd he just didn’t get it & take it serious enough after given chances.
In the end a fresh start here at low show me is ok if the F logjam were to change. As for the media scrutiny in Canada & avoiding it doesn’t show to me he has the full commitment to be a pro. Hiding in the USA doesn’t show personal growth.
