Pretty obvious that the main reason Vegas is not letting Cassidy speak to anyone is they don't want the Oilers to get him.. and the league is sitting on their hands for the same reason.. if the Oilers weren't the front runners for Cassidy.. and the team that fired him wasn't Vegas.. the NHL would have already come down on this and let Cassidy start working again.. its actually a negative for the league yet they allow it.. they are always so worried about polishing their image and not risking the NHL contracts tbeing contested in civil court so as not to set a new legal precident that could challenge the existing leagues contract formats.. similar to the loss in power the NCAA experienced when they lost in civil court and they couldn't stop payment for athletes anymore.. there's probably precidents in civil law where a person's right to be employed surpasses any contract non-compete clause.. it just hasn't been tested thoroughly enough yet.


Maybe it's all a ploy - make the Knights think we're hiring Babcock so they let their guard down and agree to let Cassidy talk to people...and then BAM!!! We snap him up and let them have the old douchebag!
