Buffalo Sabres forward Evander Kane was charged Friday by Buffalo police with one misdemeanor count of criminal trespass and four counts of non-criminal harassment.

Kane was involved in the alleged incidents early on the morning of June 24 at a bar in Buffalo.
"We are aware of the legal developments today in Buffalo relating to an incident involving Evander Kane in and around the time of the NHL Draft last month," NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said. "While we intend to monitor the developments in his legal proceedings, at this time it is not the League's current intention to take any form of disciplinary action against Mr. Kane. Mr. Kane will be directed to the NHL/NHLPA Behavioral Health professionals for evaluation and counseling, as they may determine necessary.‎"
The Buffalo Sabres released a statement: "We are aware of the charges against Evander Kane stemming from an incident last month. Our organization will have no further comment at this time."
