NHL Coaches’ Association Says It Is Monitoring the Situation with Bruce Cassidy and Vegas
Vegas has not granted any team permission to interview Bruce Cassidy, leaving the former head coach under contract after his midseason firing.
- On Tuesday, the Vegas Golden Knights denied the Los Angeles Kings permission to interview former head coach Bruce Cassidy. NHL reporter Andy Strickland confirmed the organization is blocking Pacific Division rivals from speaking with him.
- Although the Golden Knights fired Cassidy with eight games remaining in the regular season, he remains under contract through next season. The NHL Coaches Association stated they are 'closely monitoring' the situation, arguing coaches should not be prevented from pursuing employment.
- Previously, the Golden Knights blocked the Edmonton Oilers from interviewing Cassidy, who guided the franchise to a Stanley Cup win in 2023. Despite that success, the club has not granted permission to any team seeking to speak with him.
- While the Toronto Maple Leafs are searching for a new coach following Craig Berube's dismissal, it remains unclear if they have requested to speak with Cassidy. The Coaches Association called such denials 'unprecedented at the head coaching level.'
- Preparing for the Western Conference Final against the Colorado Avalanche starting Wednesday, the Golden Knights face competing pressures. General manager Kelly McCrimmon has not indicated whether the team will reconsider allowing Cassidy to pursue other opportunities.
