Over his career, it seems that Evander Kane brought controversy wherever he played. Either with the Jets or the Sharks, he managed to turn his teammates against him. It looks like he's starting to do the same thing in Edmonton.
Evander Kane Brings Trouble in Edmonton: Reports of Conflict with Draisaitl Worry Oilers Fans
According to a new report, it doesn't look to be going too well in Edmonton for Evander Kane.
Apparently, he's not in best of terms with Leon Draisaitl. He's also not very happy with being on the third line.
Here's what TSN's Ryan Rishaug said on the podcast Got Yer Back on that issue:
"We've seen that Kane hasn't been happy when he's been on the third line. I don't think there's a chemistry between him and Leon right now. I know that you watch body language and you watch the bench a lot, there was a very animated conversation two games ago between Kane and Leon on the bench."
Kane's Antics: This Isn't What the Oilers Need Right Now
The Edmonton Oilers are looking to clinch a playoff spot and it's not the time for bickering within the organization. Kane must bring what he gets paid $5 million a year to bring: offensive contribution, not drama.
Let's hope both players can get past this and continue to work together in their playoff race.
