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

[Deranged Oreo]

Love McCrimmon for this, it’s not often a GM has the balls to actually stick to his rights.

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

Most business owners aren’t exactly ethical on how they became billionaires

Eliminate “Tom Dundon” and replace it with “all billionaire owners, and also all billionaires in general.”

Anywho, read the impossibly convoluted contracts your corporate masters make ya sign, that’s all I can say.

Im no fan of Butch, but why are they holding this man hostage? They fired him. Let him go.

I feel like you don't know what beibg held hostage is

it's been made public that Cassidy's contract came with extra protection because he demanded a longer term than Vegas was offering...

but yes, this is 100% on Vegas

You can only get away with acting like a douchebag like this in a market like Vegas. Because players are going to want to play in Vegas no matter how ruthless the management is to the staff.

Edmonton or Nashville for him

 

[Kwiatkowski18]

If I'm Cassidy, I'm livid. They're literally preventing him from making bank by having 2 contracts side by side. He and his family would be set for life after a couple years of that.

Asking an Albertan to read is like asking someone from Alabama to not partake in family love.

Please note: Born and raised Albertan, also this is as much of a joke about them banning books as it is at other Albertans

Yeah it's been bleak lately lol

Any normal boss would fire a manager who costs him $4.5 million for no reason except spite

You have this backwards.

People want to go to Vegas because they win, and they win because they are ruthless.

If the Calgary Flames acted like this from a management perspective, they'd be back in Atlanta in three years. This dipshit has been playing GM on easy mode since landing in Las Vegas. And the league consistently has his back.

If Cassidy takes a job while still under contract with Vegas, his contract becomes void. He doesn't get double paychecks. That's how coach contracts work in the NHL.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

“granted permission”



What a bunch of twats. I’m so glad they lost.

Flames never would because Murray Edwards is notoriously cheap, it's all a moot point.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

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

Do you really think Mcrimmon is sitting around with his top assistants and advisors figuring out ways to “keep attention”?

Just saw a vehicle with Alberta license plates on it earlier today when i went to the mail....

Welp. I learned something today. I hope he doesn't get hired then and Vegas needs to foot the tab. f*** em

Which is fine

You’d be naive to think the owner didn’t approve this approach. 4.5 million is really nothing if it help generate playoff revenue

They're being assholes under the guise of competitiveness.

The only variation is if the new contract pays less, then Vegas pays the difference; if it pays equal or more, then Vegas' payout obligation drops to zero.
