Did his teammates treat him differently? Management? Coaches? With Akim Aliu and all the different stuff coming to light recently. I wouldn’t even be shocked if the NHL culture behind the scenes created some of the issues with E. Kane.

The soft bigotry of low expectations.
Sometimes people are just pieces of ####, and race has absolutely nothing to do with it.
I do distinctly remember him being on the same team as Dustin Byfuglien and he hated Kane and wanted him out. If anyone was to be sympathetic to Kane, would it not be fellow black NHLer who maybe encountered the same issues growing up?
