More developments have been released regarding the Evander Kane off-ice saga.
The NHL has confirmed from its recent investigation that they found no evidence that Evander Kane bet on his own games or threw any games that he played in. In addition, the NHL will perform a separate investigation involving Evander Kane after new sexual assault and domestic violence accusations were brought against him by his estranged wife. While the investigation is ongoing, the Sharks announced that Evander Kane won't be participating in training camp and preseason games, even though he is still listed on their roster for the time being.
The Sharks made the right decision by excluding Evander Kane from training camp activities and preseason games as these new allegations against him sound pretty serious. Regardless of the latest and upcoming investigation results, I want the Sharks to terminate Evander Kane's contract and get him off their books as soon as possible. In addition, many of Evander's teammates don't want to deal with him anymore, and his production on offense can be replaced. This will and should help the Sharks improve their locker room atmosphere and paint less of a dark cloud around the organization.
In other news, the Sharks played their preseason opening doubleheader on the road in both Anaheim and Vegas last night. San Jose dropped their first game to the Ducks 6-3, while they defeated the Golden Knights 4-2, splitting the doubleheader.
