Why? Because 90% of this thread assumed a probability of his guilt?
His job begins on Friday. He'll be there, and have the full support of his teammates and staff who understand the difficulties of fame.
Well there's absolutely some sort of probability of his guilt because there's an open investigation into something he may or may not have done.
You do not have a player show up to training camp when an open investigation involving him is ongoing, especially when it's a rape investigation. You just don't fucking do it. No way in hell. Call it a leave of absence, call it whatever the hell you want. There's absolutely no reason for him to be there right now. It's not going to do any good for anyone. And it'd be horrific from a PR perspective, which is about the only thing the Hawks can control right now.
Not that it's important here, but it's not like this team is suddenly going to slip into the NHL basement if they have to do without Kane at the start of the season. They'll be fine.
