SAN JOSE — Almost right from the moment he arrived in the Bay Area from upstate New York and was so famously picked up at the airport by Joe Thornton, Sharks winger Evander Kane hasn’t had a problem fitting into his surroundings.
He had 14 points in 17 regular season games for the Sharks after he was acquired from the Buffalo Sabres in February in a trade deadline day deal. In the summer, he attended his first NASCAR event at Sonoma Raceway, and a few days later, took part in former Warrior Javale McGee’s charity softball game at the Oakland Coliseum.
