Evander Kane reportedly involved in altercation days after trade to Canucks

Heading into this offseason, Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin had a ton of pressure on his shoulders to make the necessary moves in terms of trades and signings in order for the dramatic filled 2024-25 season to not repeat itself.

With that in mind, Allvin made his first big splash, trading for the controversial forward Kane, sending a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft to the Edmonton Oilers and taking on his full $5.125M salary.

Nobody is happier about the move than Kane himself, who was born and raised in Vancouver, watching the Canucks play for as long as he could remember and being a diehard fan.

Unfortunately for him, his introduction back to his childhood city and team was not as welcoming as he had hoped for.

Kane needed medical attention after being jumped by locals

Per the "2 Mutts Hockey Podcast," it was reported that just days after being traded, Kane and a group of his friends were attacked in Vancouver, where he needed medical attention for his injuries.

There has not been an official statement regarding Kane's status. We wish him well and hope justice is served in a timely manner for this horrific act committed.
