Sharks waive Evander Kane after breaking the AHL's COVID-19 protocols in the last of several slip-ups

The San Jose Sharks placed Evander Kane on unconditional waivers. The team wants to terminate the rest of his seven-year, $49 million deal. Kane's estranged wife accused him of betting on NHL games and throwing his own games with bookies to win money. He filed for bankruptcy in California last January after incurring $26.8 million in debt. He played 212 games for the Sharks and scored 166 points. His first nine NHL seasons were with the Winnipeg Jets and Buffalo Sabres. In the last nine years he played for Buffalo, Winnipeg and the Sabres, scoring 87 goals and 79 assists.
