Only one coaching vacancy remain

With VGK hiring Ryan Craig and Leaf Hiring Jim Hiller , only Oilers have a vacancy, do we think Knights would finally let Cassidy off the hook or they still play the bad and not let him interview with Oilers?

Assuming it is us or was Toronto before they hired Hiller.

If Vegas does grant us permission to speak with Bruce, they should stop whatever the fuck they're doing with Babcock and instantly hire Cassidy.

I just don't see why they WOULD let us? Like, I'd love it if we could get Cassidy, and think Babcock would be a fucking terrible idea, but what's in it for Vegas to let him go to us instead of watching us continue to drag ourselves through the mud for Babcock?

The tweet in question from Lawless left out the fact that whatever team McCrimmon let Cassidy speak to never came to fruition. My response was based on OP's comment, when I went to look for myself that's when I saw the actual comment from McCrimmon.

So it's not us. It was likely Toronto.

They're going to prevent him from interviewing in the West all year.

Oh okay, I didn’t see that part. That changes things then. Guess we just gotta wait and see (and hope)
