Hopefully @LawMan can give his thoughts on this one.
If I were to guess.. there is no chance that Evander Kane would stop wanting to earn his millions of dollars.
But... if his earnings go straight to others (his debtors)... and if he's still in debt...
Then it seems he's "working" without any actual income.
To claim bankruptcy, I'd think he'd have to have no income, which means he has to terminate his contract.
Currently, I believe, he doesn't have income until start of NHL season.
Evander Kane's income starts tomorrow - the first day of the formal NHL season. (#Timing of This)
IIRC, players get paid only during the formal NHL season - so Kane would have to declare bankruptcy today... and then not have income (i.e. terminating contract).
This "termination of contract" to cease income - I would think - would be better than playing hockey and having that income go straight to his debtors.
It also - possibly - either hooks the Sharks for the debt or releases the Sharks from the debt associations.
Either way - the termination of contract might allow Evander to chillax with NO INCOME rather than work and have NO INCOME.
Yes?
...waiting on the Lawman!
