Summary
The Edmonton Oilers are aggressively pursuing Bruce Cassidy as their next head coach, ready to offer him a lucrative five-year deal worth up to $6 million annually — but they’re stuck waiting for Vegas Golden Knights’ playoff clearance. While Cassidy remains their top choice, Edmonton is already interviewing alternatives like Craig Berube and Peter Laviolette, hinting at a contingency plan if they can’t secure Cassidy’s services. With Vegas focused on the Cup and unwilling to budge, the Oilers are betting big — and keeping their options open — to land the best possible coach, whether it’s Cassidy or someone else.
