Sabres GM Tim Murray commented on Kane’s off-the-ice issues following word of the alleged incidents.
As a reminder:
Repeating to be clear on Kane for those asking: This is from the June 24 incident. This is not a new situation. #Sabres

Kane’s representatives are denying any wrongdoing.
Evander Kane's attorney tells me his client has "denied any wrongdoing, we'll handle it in court." Says he hasn't seen the allegations yet.
