Very good Hockey Player, bad Human being. Do the Sharks have any grounds to terminate His contract ?

The guy clearly needs help in a lot of aspects of his life.

Time to put hockey to the side, get the help and come back next year, not in 21 games.

He should shut it all down himself.

What a bummer for so many reasons. I also dont like that he says "i made a mistake". NO, not 1 mistake. It was a mistake every day that he didnt just go out and get vaccinated. He put his teammates and the staff at risk. what would have happened if what happened to Vancouver happened with the sharks? Brandon Sutter is still not playing yet due to complications. What if someone was immuno compromised and they died? Side note, his (soon to be) ex wife seems great. Said he was gambling on hockey (lied), said she was the victim of domestic abuse (NHL says unsubstantiated) and he had a fake vaccination card. So 1 of 3? Does she realize if he doesnt have a job that she is also negatively financially impacted?

Maybe he enters into some sort of EAP to take some time away to reset.

Everyone is terrified of the lawyers and their lawsuits. They have completely destroyed our world.

1. Anyone who has a compromised immune system would get the vaccine so they are protected. Which means it does not matter if Evander had the vaccine himself in such a case.

2. If the argument is that someone with a compromised immune system even with the vaccine would be vulnerable due to Evander not getting the vaccine himself. Then this is a flawed view as studies have shown that having the vaccine does not stop someone from spreading the virus. Meaning again, the situation would not change whether Evander is or is not vaccinated.

He forged a Government Document, he's lucky he hasn't been charged.

They gave Evander an excessive suspension because they can’t risk trying to convict him on shaky mandates that haven’t gone through any legislative process. Then imagine the optics of woke government lawyers trying to convict a man of diversity on a case with shaky legal standing. You mean the government is lucky they chose not to charge him.

The burden of proof is on them. They have to convict him. They haven’t and won’t charge him. Read between the lines. The egregiously excessive suspension is code for we don’t have the stones to charge him.

Pretty sure the NHL isn't in the position to lay criminal charges against any of it's players for breaking any law.

Where did I say they are.? LE was involved in the domestic and gambling investigations. They were working in concert with the NHL investigators and the charges were not substantiated. Two bogus investigations and you think LE is going to potentially go 0 for3 on a fake card on sketchy mandate charges ? Reading comprehension is hard for you,eh? Lol Lol Lol.
