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

[TheBeard]

I wonder if Vegas signed Cassidy to a two year extension knowing this was the plan all along?

Winning culture from day 1, there's a reason no one hates the Jackets lol

days are numbered. old team. no more assets. vegas fans if there are any will go down to zero when they are a lottery team.

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

the rumors are it's from the owner

CASSIDY ASKED FOR A LONGER DEAL THAN VEGAS OFFERED HIM ORIGINALLY

Exactly. All coaches' contracts state other teams must get permission to talk to them if fired/relieved of duties. Vegas is just the first one in a long time to not grant permission.

Yes and no. Some contracts for coaches actually state the coaches have to look for other work

I doubt that is possible. You can't state that someone under contract has to look for another job. A contract like that is unenforcible, and the union wouldn't approve it. Do you have an actual cite on one of these contracts?

That is so wrong. What a bunch of f***ing assholes.

Read some were it was the leafs who was granted permission, find it hard to believe they spoke with Cassidy and went with hiller tho lolol

As a Leafs fan, I can believe it.

I somehow love how unconditionally ruthless the Vegas-organization is.

Their only goal is to win and they use all means within the rulebook to do so.
Honor and respect is nothing that sin city cares one bit about.

 

[PistolPete]

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

Or they're doing what competitive teams do.

Why aren't people loving this? It shows they're in it to win it. Wouldn't ot be nice to know every team is this dedicated to winning?

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.

I mean...its in the contract he signed, is it not? Its not their fault he doesn't read it.
