Elliotte Friedman

We know Steve Eisenman is as well.

I just I wonder here as we move forward, Elliot, I mean, will they be able to put the emotions aside and and do whatever they see is best?

And one way or another, they're going to have to work together to

in order to make something happen here.

OK, so we'll pause on the Larkin story for now.

But as if that wasn't enough on Thursday, shortly before your report came out, Elliot, Mark Spector had a piece on Sportsnet.ca.

And man, it sure seems like Darnell Nurse and the Edmonton Oilers are headed for a breakup.

Now, why do you think they would be just looking at someone for a year?

Right.

So you still see a world where however the dust settles here in this final, we go through the summer and into the fall and the Vegas organization is still going, nope, we're not letting you talk to that team or to that team.

And it would be another year for Cassidy under contract, right?

After next season, the deal with Vegas is up for him, right?

That's right.

I mean, I suppose it's a bit risky because you're not sure what's going to happen in between that time with Cassidy.

But then I suppose if you're looking at one year, I mean, you're probably not looking at a coach with minimal to no NHL head coaching experience.

Yeah, absolutely.

Because then, I mean, what if you...

pull kind of a Tortorella exactly again this is just my theory but I've begun to wonder about this okay so how about some other coaching conversations LA Toronto

Now, do you think with this new regime, a trade like that, is that something they'd circle back on?

OK.
