The Sharks have confirmed that they have settled the Evander Kane grievance case.
As a result of the Evander Kane grievance settlement, Evander Kane will receive a one-time payment from the Sharks, and the cap penalty for the Sharks will apply to last season's salary cap.
The best part about this settlement is that this won't impact the Sharks this season or in future seasons competitively or financially. Sharks Territory no longer has to worry about the Evander Kane saga directly affecting them and their ability to perform their best this season and going forward. Like many Sharks fans, I still don't like and can't root for Evander Kane, but the worst of that drama is behind us.
In other news, the Sharks have played the first two games in their rookie showcase in the past two nights, winning both games over the Ducks and the Avalanche. In the first game against the Ducks two nights ago, William Eklund scored an impressive spin-o-rama goal in OT to win it for the Sharks that you have to see to believe. This is a huge sign that the Sharks need to have him on the roster for the entire season and give him a more significant role. I've been saying this for a while now, but I already see William Eklund as a favorite to win the Calder Trophy as the NHL's top rookie this season.
