Evander Kane has often come with drama throughout his NHL career, and his time in Edmonton has been no different, with a top insider now putting him on blast.
While the focus in Edmonton with the media should be on their first-round series against the Los Angeles Kings and the chase for a Stanley Cup, it appears they can't stop talking about Evander Kane. We've been hearing for quite some time that Kane is causing trouble in the Oilers locker room, and now, respected reporter and Insider Mark Spector has spectacularly called out Evander Kane, calling him a ‘bringer of drama'. "He doesn't run his course as a player. He runs his course as a bringer of drama." - @SportsnetSpec
This has been known for quite some time, but over the past few months, the whispers have been growing louder surrounding his behaviour in the Oilers locker room, and it's clear that the reporters are now growing tired of it too. In 2023-24, Kane played through a sports hernia injury all season long, but simply didn't produce at the level they expected, and while he's still under contract ahead of next season, if he doesn't put it together in the playoffs, it's tough to see them keeping him with all the question marks.
