For those not following along -
Patrick Kane is currently being investigated for the rape of a woman in Evans, NY on Saturday. The woman went to the hospital and had a rape examination/kit done that evening.
The police have apparently searched Kane's house.
Kane is a near generational talent, on a top-price contract.
What are Chicago's (as a team) options? What (as a fan) would you want Chicago to do if they were your team?
---
My take - Kane is obviously entitled to due process, but he should be suspended during the investigation. If convicted, I don't see how you allow him back on the team. How Chicago handles his contract will be interesting though. Does the NHL have a player conduct clause in their contracts?
