Cassidy had a year left on his contract when the Golden Knights decided to move on from him. So they can decide whether to deny or grant permission to teams looking to interview him.
John Tortorella took over for the fired Cassidy. The Golden Knights advanced to the Western Conference Final where they’ll face the Colorado Avalanche beginning Wednesday.
The news comes a week after it was reported Vegas withheld permission from the Edmonton Oilers to interview Cassidy.
Cassidy joined the Golden Knights in 2022 and led them to the Stanley Cup win in his first year after he was fired by the Bruins .
It’s unclear why permission wasn’t granted to the Kings or the Oilers, but it’s possible Vegas doesn’t want Cassidy to go to a team within the Pacific Division.
