SAN JOSE, Calif. – General manager Mike Grier is hoping the NHL Players’ Association’s grievance against the Sharks — filed in January on Evander Kane’s behalf — can be put to rest soon even though there remained no end in sight as of earlier this week.
Bill Daly, the NHL’s deputy commissioner, wrote in an email Monday to this news organization that a date to resume the NHLPA’s grievance hearing against the Sharks had not yet been scheduled, potentially dragging out what has already been a months-long process.
“Hopefully, we’ll be able to put that behind us and we can move on from it,” Grier said Wednesday night after a question and answer session with season ticket holders at Tech CU Arena.
