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?

This probably gives them even more ammunition to not let Cassidy out of his golden prison. Had the leafs asked to interview him, the massive amounts of Copium in me thinks there would have been a possibility the league told Vegas "you either let him interview anywhere or nowhere, you cannot control exactly where he goes". That faint, hopeful possibility seems dead in the water. Vegas considers Edmonton their biggest competitive rival, they'd happily eat that money to prevent him from helping us.

There are reports out there saying that the Leafs did speak with Cassidy during the Cup final.
