Darren Dreger

But he doesn't have an agent.

He's not campaigning to jump into the National Hockey League, what we know he's doing.

is what has been announced and reported on the last couple of days and that's looking after player personnel with the denver pioneers that's where his focus is right so

It sure doesn't seem like it's likely that he's going to make that NHL move this year.

But based on last couple of years, not just this year, the interest around David Carl, I think he's confident in his own coaching ability and future that he believes that the opportunity is going to be there when he and his family are ready.

And the opportunity, whether it's in a market that he approves of,

closer to wherever he wants to call home financially, all of that, it's going to be there.

It just doesn't seem like it's going to be this year.

Well, both.

I mean, I think they're absolutely hopeful that they'll get permission to get to Bruce Cassidy.

A bit of a risk, I would say.

I haven't heard of who their plan B is.

I believe that Peter Laviolette has been through that process.

I know that the Los Angeles Kings continue to do their due diligence on Lavi.

We know that Stan Bowman and Jeff Jackson spent time with Craig Berube a couple of weeks ago in Toronto as part of their interview process.

But I think it's relatively quiet on that front.

So you start to wonder a little bit because, you know, the commissioner's availability with Deputy Commissioner Bill Daley, you know, Daley basically said pre to game one of the Stanley Cup final that they were comfortable with the position of the Vegas Golden Knights through the playoffs.

But that kind of offered a hint that maybe the NHL gets back involved, if they can, legally.

I don't know that they can.

If they can, after the Stanley Cup is awarded.
