Evander Kane brought up his former team, the San Jose Sharks and said he was shocked when they terminated his contract saying that caught him "off guard", on how things ended with the San Jose Sharks. He wished they could of ended things on better terms.
"Joe Thornton was the first call I got. I had a nice chat with him for probably like 20 minutes, and it was nice to hear from a guy like that and have his support. I knew Jimbo a little bit off the ice prior to us becoming teammates and from the moment I landed in San Jose, he was the first face I saw. We had a very very close relationship when we were teammates in San Jose."
«He was a guy that I was always excited to see every day and I think he felt the same way about me, and we had a lot of banter but we both loved that type of thing. It was a great relationship and I'm glad it continues even though we're not teammates anymore.»
