Patrick Kane: Agent: P. Kane’s situation will be explained

All players on the roster are expected to be at camp, according to Comcast SportsNet’s Tracey Myers.

“Based on what I know, Patrick Kane will be at camp tomorrow”, Kane’s agent, Pat Brisson, wrote in a text message to The Associated Press on Wednesday after Chicago released its camp roster.

Given Kane’s ongoing off-ice issues and the fact he now is the focal point of an investigation in a sexual assault case in New York state, this was all very controversial.

Kane’s accuser continues to cooperate with the investigation, a source told the Chicago Tribune, even as the Buffalo News cited sources saying financial settlement talks coincided with the delay in the grand jury’s process.

Patrick Kane’s investigation is a distraction that can hardly be ignored.

On Wednesday, everyone got their answer when the team announced that Kane will be in attendance. However, on the other side of things, the Blackhawks today have confirmed that Patrick Kane will attend their upcoming training camp, and for the same reason that Kane’s supporters are now by his side…

The grand jury proceedings in this case were postponed, causing speculation that a settlement was in the works. The Blackhawks are then scheduled to stage their annual Training Camp Festival scrimmage Monday night in the United Center in front of a crowd of more than 10,000. Kane, 26, has not been charged with any wrongdoing, and he has not spoken publicly about the allegations.

Police have started an investigation over an incident that occurred at his house.

The players mentioned are just a handful who have since departed from the Blackhawks following the Stanley Cup. It’s not known whether Kane will address the media on Friday. He may be more important than ever to the Blackhawks’ success, and fellow forward Bryan Bickell said he seems the same as he was at the end of last season.

In March, Roethlisberger signed a four-year, $87.4 million deal with the Steelers, making him one of the NFL’s highest paid players.
