As long as the injury doesn't inhibit his ability to clutch fat stacks of green, then all is good in Kaneland.
I just read this news today, more than a little worrisome for Kane owners:
Evander Kane isn't sure if his hand will "ever be 100 percent," but he's still able to use it effectively enough.
He said, "I'm able to play and doesn't bother me and I can what do what I need to do." Kane's injured hand became infected in February and he missed some additional time before being able to return. He concluded the season with 19 goals and 41 points in 63 games.
He brushes it off like it won't be an issue, but permanent hand damage can't be a good thing for anyone, especially a goal scorer.

We obviously need more details on the exact nature of the injury. Maybe it doesn't affect his stickhandling or shooting at all.
