He's beyond a distraction at this point. He's bringing down an injury ravaged team.
Sabres ‘need more from Evander Kane,’ says Bylsma (http://nhl.nbcsports.com/2016/11/13/sabres-need-more-from-evander-kane-says-bylsma/)
Dan Bylsma issued a challenge to Evander Kane following Saturday’s loss to the New Jersey Devils.
Kane took two penalties Saturday, including a hooking infraction in the offensive zone in the third period, and was removed from the top line in a 4-2 loss to New Jersey.
He was also in penalty trouble the previous night against the Devils, which resulted in an overtime loss for Buffalo.
Bylsma didn’t have much to say on the subject. But the message from the coach was clear: “Need more from Evander,” he told reporters, when asked about the decision to move Kane off the top line.
In four games, Kane has yet to record a point, with 10 penalty minutes. He did miss 11 games with broken ribs from a scary fall into the boards. The injury and lack of production represents a bad start to the season on the ice for Kane, who has been tied to trade speculation for months.
