Age: 24
Contract: $5.2 million through 2017-18
Introduction: Evander Kane made his Sabres debut this season after being acquired while injured from the Jets last season. It certainly was a weird season from Kane, who was able to quickly become a fan favorite due to his physical play and his work with children. Yet, he also faced sexual assault allegations but was never charged, and dealt with a knee injury, the second straight year that he missed significant time with an injury.
Key Stat: We were told coming into the season that Evander Kane shoots from everywhere, and boy was that true this season.
