Summary
Vegas GM Kelly McCrimmon dropped a bombshell mid-Stanley Cup Final: they let one team interview Bruce Cassidy — just as the championship was unfolding. Cassidy, still under contract with Vegas, was Edmonton’s top coaching target before they turned to Mike Babcock. The Oilers’ probe into Babcock’s conduct is heating up, with insiders saying it could wrap up fast — though veterans like Brian Burke doubt it’ll move that quickly. Meanwhile, Toronto’s new hire, Jim Hiller, adds intrigue as Edmonton remains the only team without a coach. Cassidy may be sidelined this cycle — and the chess match behind the scenes is just getting started. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
