Bruce Cassidy discusses Vegas Golden Knights blocking interviews with potential teams

Bruce Cassidy, the former head coach of the Vegas Golden Knights, commented on the team's decision to prevent other NHL teams from interviewing him following his firing. Cassidy, who led the Golden Knights to a Stanley Cup victory in 2023, was let go with eight games remaining in the regular season. He stated on the 'Spittin' Chiclets' podcast that due to no-compete clauses in his contract, he cannot work for another team without permission from Vegas until his contract expires at the end of the next season. Cassidy confirmed that two teams had requested to interview him but were denied by the Golden Knights, who have a reputation for being strict in their management approach. The teams interested in Cassidy include the Toronto Maple Leafs, Los Angeles Kings, and Vancouver Canucks. Additionally, the Golden Knights faced scrutiny after their current head coach, John Tortorella, was fined for refusing to speak to the media after a playoff game.
