Evander Kane is skating in San Jose right now, but if the Sharks have their way, he won’t be there for long.

Kane has four years and $28 million dollars left on his contract, signed with the San Jose Sharks in the summer of 2018.
The scandal-ridden winger is eligible to return from his 21-game suspension for violating the NHL’s COVID protocol on Nov. 30.
“I don’t know who’s going to trade for him right now,” Friedman acknowledged. “I just don’t know where that is at this particular point of time or even if that’s realistic.”
