Legacy Heating and Cooling. Nothing new to report on the Edmonton Oilers coaching front. The team is currently in their pro meetings as we speak. We did get a little bit of verbiage yesterday from Kelly McCrimmon. Let's go into our Oilers Now Audio Vault for Direct Workwear.

Yesterday, Kelly McCrimmon, and this happens just so everybody's clear here. Before the start of the conference final, there was a GM head coach avail for both teams. So the last couple of years, it was Ken Holland, Chris Knobloch, and then Stan Bowman, Chris Knobloch. This year, Kelly McCrimmon and, yeah, I guess John Tortorella, who, by the way, Vegas did get the rights to talk to. And, in fact, oh, by the way, Vegas also got the opportunity. Boston granted them the right to interview Butch Cassidy, Bruce Cassidy. So their last two coaching hires, the organizations extended the Olive Branch to the Vegas Golden Knights to – to interview coaches that were technically under the employ of both first Boston, the case of Bruce Cassidy, and Philadelphia, the case of John Tortorella.
Here is Kelly McCrimmon's yesterday's GM avail in Denver, Colorado, on Bruce Cassidy.
Secondly, regarding Bruce Cassidy, teams have asked for permission to speak with Bruce. We've been consistent that our focus currently is on the Stanley Cup playoffs, and the teams have respected that. I've spoken with Bruce. He understands this as well.
All right, so anybody that knows Kelly McCrimmon from his days in the Western Hockey League when he was undoubtedly one of the biggest power brokers in the league and wasn't afraid to flaunt it, they're probably not surprised by that. Here's Elliott Freeman, yesterday's edition of Orders Now, on the Cassidy situation. The response I got was nothing new.
So as it stands right now, Vegas has been adamant that they will not give Edmonton or L.A. permission. I'm not sure about Toronto. To be honest, I'm not 100% certain as of this moment that they've asked. I expect them to, but I don't know that they have. And I don't have clarity on Toronto. But as it stands right now, Edmonton nor L.A. has been given permission to talk to Cassidy.
Friedman went on to answer whether or not if he thinks the Oilers at some point will be given the opportunity to speak to Bruce Cassidy.
