Vegas Golden Knights continue to block Bruce Cassidy from interviewing with other NHL teams including the LA Kings and Edmonton Oilers. The Knights fired Cassidy without cause and remain obligated to pay him $4.5 million for the next season. Sources confirmed Cassidy's status unchanged as of May 19, 2026. Edmonton shifted focus to Craig Berube after the blockade prevented any discussion of hiring the former Boston Bruins coach.
