You're talking about $4.5 million owing to Bruce Cassidy for next year to not be part of your organization.

If your owner isn't on board with that, and on board with what you said, Jonas, like the competitiveness of, hey, this guy's a good coach.

We can understand because we have firsthand experience that he has a shelf life.

It's probably a three, maybe four-year window, and then it's time to move on because he wears players down.

Okay, but you'll win with Bruce Cassidy.

He goes to Edmonton.

Maybe they win a couple of Stanley Cups in that three, four-year window at the expense of the Vegas Golden Knights.

I guess I had a lawyer ask me the other day.

Why would they ask me?

I don't know.

Labor lawyer?

More or less.

In an office with labor law, yes.

to work like you you shouldn't have your livelihood taken away from you but you're being paid that's the the counter to a labor well yeah and i mean there's multiple approaches to it i suppose but the question is why wouldn't bruce cassidy hire a legal team to represent himself and challenge the contract right right because you're not talking about the four and a half

All right, if he wants to resign as an employee of the Vegas Golden Knights and walk away from four and a half, I don't even know if you can do that with the NHL contract or not.

I don't know, yeah.

Where I'd get pissy if I were Cassidy is you're attacking future earnings here.

We're not talking about next year.

You're talking about because wherever he's not the next head coach of the Edmonton Oilers for one year, he's going to get at least a four, maybe a five-year term and probably five times five.

Right.
