There has been a storm around Evander Kane, 30, over the past year.
This spring, the star, who earns $ 55 million a year in the San Jose Sharks, went into personal bankruptcy as a result of gambling addiction. Evander Kane then had debts of SEK 222 million.
In addition, he has gone through a divorce that has attracted attention.
Evander Kane’s ex-wife Anna has accused Evander Kane of sexual abuse and ill-treatment. The player himself has denied the accusations and the police investigation of the accusations has been closed.
The couple then ended up in another lawsuit where Evander Kane claimed that Anna Kane deliberately lied to soil him. It ended with Kane receiving sole custody of the couple’s daughter.
San Jose dumps Evander Kane
During the fall, the San Jose Sharks put Kane on waivers, but when no club picked up his contract, the player was sent down to the AHL farm team.
During the autumn, he was suspended for 21 matches for violating the league’s covid-19 rules.
He has now served that sentence. But there will be no return to the San Jose Sharks. The club announces that they have set up Kane on “unconditional waivers”, which means that they intend to buy out the player from his contract.
