Vegas has granted permission for a team to speak with Cassidy and will do so on a case by case basis

[AvroArrow]

Man f*** these guys

Man f*** these guys

not my type, but whatever makes you happy

 

[J Roc Baby]

Lmao biblically accurate VGK this offseason

 

[koivalev]

God I'm so happy they lost

 

[Rec T]

I wonder which team they gave permission to. Toronto just announced their new coach, L.A. got theirs, Vegas even has next year's announced so no forcing him to coach there. Edmonton is a possibility but I could see Vegas denying permission just to maybe get Babcock there within the division and all the chaos that will ensue.

Lol this was honestly the first thing that came to mind.

 

[Rec T]

Man, they're just twisting the knife now...

A minor league team never crossed my mind let alone their own

 

[Hale The Villain]

They were always going to let him interview with teams that aren't direct competitors in their own division.

And they were completely right to do so.

You should probably read up more on Tom Dundon as an business owner. He's not a good person.

 

[Qward]

Ottawa should get permission, sign him, then fire him and let him go to Edmonton as a f*** you to Vegas over the losing the pick fiasco.

 

[Chainshot]

Aren't the Oilers the only team with a vacancy at HC?

I’m skeptical any billionaire who wasn’t handed the billions is a good person. How do you amass that much without stepping on at least a few necks?

 

[TheBeard]

The Vegas brass is so desperate to keep the attention on them despite getting the crap kicked out of them in the finals.

Is there any kind of precedent for this whatsoever? How can you fire someone and then prevent them from finding another job?

Still under contract.

[AquiliniHurtsMySoul]

This is such f***ing bullshit lol.

They're like an insurance company pointing to some random ass clause buried in page 582 of 1000 page contract in order to get out of covering a client.

Ever heard of non-competes?

Salespeople have to deal with this situation all the time. Companies love to try and restrict people's right to earn a living, but it can't really be enforced.

 

[nerevarine]

I assume they dont let edmonton as they are divisional rivals. Petty, but on brand for vegas

Sounds like they are focusing on babcock anyways for better or worse

This. Pound sand if you're mad about it.

Vegas is all business. This is why they are cup contenders every year.

Because they are still employed with an active contract paying them out, they are just not allowing him to coach vegas anymore. Its more of a paid vacation than a firing.

 

[SomeDude]

I find many things annoying about Vegas but this is not one of them. If they’re willing to pay him to sit on his couch, they’re allowed to deny interviews.

Other teams should just be happy they got rid of the compensation for hiring coaches and front office under contract. They’d demand 5 1sts.
