Knob is pretty clearly done, as the OIlers have sought permission to talk to Cassidy.

Vegas is also playing dirty now:



Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli
League sources say #Oilers have sought permission to interview Bruce Cassidy as they contemplate significant coaching staff changes.

To this point, sources say @GoldenKnights have withheld permission from division rival.

Gamesmanship? Perhaps. Mostly unprecedented for role.



The article Seravalli wrote gives some less bad sounding reasons, like Vegas is just busy with the playoffs, and that the Oilers don't have an actual vacancy yet as reasons.

Well at least the Oilers haven't lost a 2nd round draft pick.. yet

Sounds like Knobby is done.. I think Vegas are denying access to screw with the Oilers.. and make the denial public so Oilers get dragged through the media mud before they actully announce Knob..

Not really Knobs fault this team has under performed.. its the lack of roster ability Jackson, Holland, Bowman created .. getting a new coach isn't going to chnage that.. guys that are too slow are going to still be too slow.. etc.. its not the "systems"..


This guy from NJ kinda summed it up..

New Jersey hockey writer for the Devil’s Advocate JP Gambatese @jp_gambatese

Stan Bowman doesn’t know how to build a roster, so naturally the thing to do is fire the coach who dragged the #Oilers to two Stanley Cup berths with Stuart Skinner in net and a $9.25 million AAV Darnell Nurse. Good grief lol
