other NHL teams.

Never stops at 100% hockey.

There you go.

Gamesmanship?

No.

Even though he has been dismissed as the coach of the hockey club, he is still under contract for another 13 months with Vegas.

They're paying him a hefty bit of coin to stay at home and not be involved with the hockey club.

So they still do control him in so many ways.

And when he signed his contract, that was what was supposed to happen.

Do I think it's wrong?

I think it's wrong.

He should be able to go and...

interview and negotiate a new deal and and then work out the compensation you know in so fact that if it's more or less of what the golden knights pay but the golden knights don't want to be distracted with those discussions right now they want to be involved in the stanley cup playoffs and at a certain point even though i don't agree with it you'd have to respect what they're doing particularly if they've explained it to bruce all right so what do you think is going to happen when vegas's season ends

I think that they will grant every team that requests talking to Bruce Cassidy.

And then whether it's Los Angeles or Edmonton or Toronto or whomever, because I think there will be more teams, believe it or not, by the time the regular the the playoff season ends.

Then at that point, we will be able to sit down and discuss the compensation and how much do the Golden Knights still pay and how much does Bruce's new team pay?

Yeah, I do.

Absolutely.

I think when you get teams to the Stanley Cup Final, when you win the Stanley Cup, you have that ability to make players in front of you better.

I think he's an excellent communicator.
