That has also included stints with the Atlanta Thrashers, Winnipeg Jets, Buffalo Sabres, San Jose Sharks, and Edmonton Oilers.<\/p>\n<p>Kane recently joined Neon, an American YouTuber and livestreamer, where he talked about the NHL and shared insights from his career. When asked by Neon what city is the worst to play in amongst all 32 teams, Kane took a few seconds before naming one he used to call home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorst city to play in? It\u2019s a place I used to play: Winnipeg,\u201d Kane answered. \u201cIt\u2019s not that it\u2019s bad people [or] a bad hockey town. It\u2019s a great hockey town. It\u2019s just there\u2019s not that much to do. You\u2019re kind of right in the middle of Canada where there\u2019s not any other major city around. It\u2019s tough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"@thestreamingplug5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@thestreamingplug5?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">@thestreamingplug5<\/a> N3on was not EXPECTING Evander Kane to admit WINNIPEG is the WORST least FUN place to be in CANADA \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6\ud83d\ude33\ud83d\udc40 <a title=\"n3on\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/n3on?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">#n3on<\/a> <a title=\"evanderkane\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/evanderkane?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">#evanderkane<\/a> <a title=\"canada\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/canada?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">#canada<\/a> <a title=\"\u266c Stuff We Did (from &#039;Up&#039;) - Piano Version - your movie soundtrack\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Stuff-We-Did-fromUp&#039;-7083229887985403906?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">\u266c Stuff We Did (from \u2018Up\u2019) \u2013 Piano Version \u2013 your movie soundtrack<\/a><\/p>\n<p>On the other side of the coin, Kane was very complimentary about Edmonton and his time spent with the organization. He made it clear that he believes Connor McDavid remains the best player in the NHL while listing his favourite teammate throughout his entire career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFavourite teammate I\u2019ve ever had. That\u2019s tough. There were so many guys on Edmonton that I really liked. One guy I had a lot of fun with off the ice was Jack Campbell. He was a lot of fun.
