Sharks options for Kane
TSN: San Jose Sharks forward Evander Kane is eligible to return from his suspension on November 30th. Since his contract is not eligible to be terminated, Chris Johnston on what options the Sharks may have.
“I don’t get the sense, at all, that they’ve decided how they’ll proceed going forward here. Perhaps at some point he’s waived and sent to the AHL, maybe they try to pay him to stay home, I think a trade will be pretty difficult at this point in time, but certainly they can’t terminate that contract.”
