What happened: Accounts from former San Jose teammates describe repeated lateness at team meetings. A teammate's family said its children were kept out of the locker room when Kane was present.
Why it matters: The criticism resurfaces as Kane enters the 2026-27 season without a contract. He joined Vancouver last summer after four seasons with Edmonton.
By the numbers: Kane recorded 13 goals and 18 assists in 71 games for Vancouver last season.
What to watch: Kane's next contract decision will determine whether he returns for another NHL season.
