On Saturday, San Jose placed Kane on unconditional waivers with the intent of terminating his contract with the club for violating AHL COVID-19 protocols.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe San Jose Sharks have informed Evander Kane that he has been placed on unconditional waivers with intent to terminate his contract for breach of his NHL Standard Player Contract and for violation of the AHL COVID-19 protocol,\u201d San Jose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/sharks\/news\/statement-from-sharks-regarding-evander-kane\/c-329592480\">said<\/a> in a statement. \u201cThe Club will have no further comment on this matter.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nhl\/story\/_\/id\/33019988\/san-jose-sharks-place-evander-kane-waivers-plan-terminate-contract-violating-ahl-covid-19-protocols\">ESPN<\/a>, Kane traveled to Vancouver last month while in COVID-19 protocols, a violation of league rules.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Kane has three-and-a-half years and roughly $24 million remaining on a seven-year contract.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The NHLPA [National Hockey League Players Association] put out a statement on Twitter saying they will be filing a grievance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are aware of the San Jose Sharks\u2019 stated intent to terminate Evander Kane\u2019s contract,\u201d the NHLPA <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NHLPA\/status\/1479940835605106699?s=20\">said<\/a>. \u201cThe NHLPA intends to challenge any such action by filing a grievance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kane\u2019s agent, Dan Milstein, also put out a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are aware of the Sharks\u2019 decision to put Evander on waivers for contract termination,\u201d Milstein said on Twitter. \u201cIf he clears, we will file a grievance.

He apologized to his teammates in October following the news of his suspension, and is now reportedly fully vaccinated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would like to apologize to my teammates, the San Jose Sharks organization, and all Sharks fans for violating the NHL COVID protocols,\u201d Kane <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/news\/san-jose-sharks-place-evander-kane-on-unconditional-waivers-with-intent-to-terminate-contract\/c-329595132\">said<\/a>. \u201cI made a mistake, one I sincerely regret and take responsibility for. During my suspension, I will continue to participate in counseling to help me make better decisions in the future. When my suspension is over, I plan to return to the ice with great effort, determination, and love for the game of hockey.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Kane has been the topic of multiple off-the-field issues this season, including a domestic assault accusation by his ex-wife that \u201ccould not be substantiated\u201d by the NHL, and accusations that he gambled on his own games, which the NHL found no evidence of.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve said this before, management\u2019s done a really good job of limiting the distractions from the players and the staff,\u201d Sharks coach Bob Boughner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/news\/san-jose-sharks-place-evander-kane-on-waivers\/c-328428688\">said<\/a> in November after Kane was placed on waivers. \u201cThis announcement today is just another example of that. We like what we have in our room, I think we\u2019ve created a pretty good family atmosphere and culture and we\u2019re going to continue to do that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis sort of now puts this behind us a little bit. Not that it was a big subject in our room to begin with, but it\u2019s nice we\u2019re moving on and we\u2019re focusing on our jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the NHL has not mandated the vaccine for its players, it is heavily encouraged, and the protocols for the unvaccinated are much stricter than for those who have received the vaccine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The NHL allows teams to suspend unvaccinated players who are \u201cunable to participate in club activities\u201d due to testing positive for COVID. Unvaccinated players are only allowed at the team hotel, practice facility, and arena and are not allowed out at bars and restaurants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Joe Morgan is the Sports Reporter for The Daily Wire.
