Elliotte Friedman added the following today:
I think there is hope that he plays for the Oilers on Saturday night from the Oilers, but I don't know if that's going to happen.
Friedman mentions the NHL is taking their time with this investigation to make sure they didn't miss anything, that's why he might not be able to play Saturday.
Duncan Keith shared his thoughts on the potential signing of Evander Kane.
«Anytime you add a player like that, a good player, you'd be excited by that if that's going to happen. We'd be happy to have him and excited to have him join the group and help us out.»
Zach Hyman also added the following:
«If he's a part of our team it's going to be exciting to have a player like that, I would say. He'll be a part of our team if he's a part of our team.»
It will be interesting to see if Kane can keep his history of difficult behaviors under control as he attempts to salvage his NHL career.
