Cohn specified that a major topic of discussion will be the gambling accusations made by his estranged wife, Anna. For those of you who haven't heard about this yet, Anna posted on social media that Kane bets on his own games with the Sharks. Kane has since rejected those claims and Anna has yet to interview with the NHL during their investigation.

Kane filed for bankruptcy due to his gambling issues back in January of this year. He was $26.8 million in debt at the time he did this. Therefore, this has been an ongoing issue for quite some time.

It also has been reported this summer that several of Kane's teammates do not want him to return to San Jose this season. In fact, Kevin Kurz also stated that if Kane does not end up traded, the others would not want to stay with the team.

Kurz adds guys were going into GM Doug Wilson’s office all year long saying Kane had to go, all he’d say is, “All teams have locker-room issues.”

“‘#SJSharks ignored everything,’ said an agent who represents at least one player on the team. ‘Team turned a blind eye.’”

Besides all of the issues that are associated with Kane right now, he is coming off of a very solid season. In 56 games, he scored 22 goals and recorded 49 points. He's a legitimate top-six winger in this league, but there's no denying that he always seems to come with drama.

Nonetheless, it should be an intriguing interview to watch.
