Edmonton Oilers insider calls for the termination of Evander Kane
The Edmonton Oilers' Evander Kane is certainly one of the most abrasive characters in the NHL, with his on-ice and off-ice conduct ruffling feathers often.
Following a contract termination mid-season from the San Jose Sharks that came after a slew of controversy involving himself and his family, Evander Kane signed a one-year deal with the Edmonton Oilers.
That led to a long-term extension, but it appears that marriage may come to an end prematurely (in classic Evander Kane fashion).
Edmonton Oilers insider and reporter Mark Spector made these comments, but then quickly deleted them:

In the mean time, while Evander Kane is dealing with a year-long sports hernia, things are devolving in the locker room.
For the Edmonton Oilers to succeed, they need the presence of Evander Kane far away from the rest of the team. Connor McDavid doesn't deserve drama.
