Kane felt Jets didn't have his back: THN interview

Buffalo Sabres left-winger Evander Kane isn’t finished with Winnipeg quite yet.

Kane gave a recent interview The Hockey News writer Ken Campbell that will be published today in the magazine in which he aired numerous grievances with Winnipeg and its Jets.

The 24-year-old Vancouver native was traded to Buffalo by the Jets last February after playing three-plus seasons in the Manitoba capital.

Kane confirmed in the story what was eventually known, but not before he was traded -- each summer he spent as a member of the Jets, he asked for a trade, though when asked about it while he was in Winnipeg, he talked around it or inferred denying it.
