TSN's Bob McKenzie released some interesting information Wednesday afternoon on TSN Radio 1050 about the tension that is growing between the Winnipeg Jets and forward Evander Kane.
"Curious situation in Winnipeg because he's not asked for a trade, and the Jets aren't shopping him so why is his name even out there? Well, one goal in twelve games, you saw the Claude Noel news conference in the last week or two and it was after a game Kane had played particularly poorly... Noel froze and thought better of [commenting on Kane's performance] and said 'not going there.'
There's tension and people can't figure out fully whether it's that Evander does not really like it in Winnipeg or with the Jets? Are the coaches unhappy with him, how has he fit in with the team? And so outside people looking in are saying 'one goal in the last 12 games, minus player more than not, still playing 21-25 minutes a night... is he available?' And nobody's really gotten to that point yet, but they're kind of waiting to see if this guy might be available."
