What updates are being discussed regarding Oilers Now and video content?
Hey, it's Bob Stauffer. I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to Oilers Now ad-free on Amazon Music, included with Prime. All right, welcome back, everybody. It's 4.34 in oil country. Josh texts us on the Ashley Fine Flores text line. He says, Bob, I've seen the video clips from the show on X. Any chance you guys starting releasing full video versions of the shows? They're going to have to offer it. I feel like we should bring Eamon on for this. What's going on here? We do the YouTube stuff. It's on YouTube, right? Like we do one segment a show on YouTube, right? He's saying, are we going to have full shows on YouTube at some point? Here's the challenge with that. There's other guys that do shows that are really good at doing shows, and they're in the same location every day that they do shows.
OK, I'm lucky enough to have a job where I travel year round. And well, certainly in most good years for 10 months, those are called the best years when your team is playing until the sixth or seventh game of the Stanley Cup final, like the last two years. So we'll see. And the other thing that needs to occur is got to get down at least one, possibly two more chins. I'm just saying. I'm just having some fun with you. All right. It is 435 in oil country. We're going to tell you that guests and owners now receive gift certificates to Japanese Village. It's a true celebration for the census, quality ingredients, and an unmatched grill side experience. Book your seat at jvedmonton.ca as we go into the Oilers Now Audio Vault for direct workwear.

Nothing to report, by the way, for those asking on the Ashley Fine Floors text line. Nothing updated at all on the Bruce Cassidy situation. Here is Pierre Lebrun from The Athletic and TSN on the aforementioned Cassidy situation. This is the day after. Gary Bettman and Bill Daley said that the Vegas Golden Knights are within their rights to retain him and not allow him to interview for jobs.
Bruce Gatsby was pretty firm in his desire to get back to work here. But Bill Daley could not have been more clear that they believe Vegas is well within their boundaries. Legal right to be doing what they're doing You know and and what he said actually what I thought was instructive for bill daily to say because I think this is part of the industry that even a lot of us in the media may be aren't as up to speed on as Other parts, you know player contracts are standardized as you know the SEC It's not really the thing with coaches although the NHL coaches Association has taken great strides in the last decade to try and uniform their deals what the reality is is Coach's deals can really vary and have different clauses and not read the same.
In fact, some coaches, I remember this was the case for when it was Bruce Bujoro in Minnesota who had an advisory option here at the end of his deal. You can negotiate different things in your deal. And what Daly said is there are some coaches' contracts that have that out language that would have been beneficial to him. His deal is not one of them. So, you know, obviously a wake-up call for, I think, any coach in that position to want to negotiate that kind of language when they can. But again, that takes two to tango. Maybe teams don't want that in there for a reason. They want to be able to control where a really good coach ends up and so on.
There you go. That is Pierre Lebrun, who also commented on Gary Bettman's league growth report.
No, I mean, listen, I wrote this in my piece last night in The Athletic that Gary Bettman had a State of the Union three and a half hours before puck drop. And every year for the last 30 years that I've been going to it, he says the same thing. The game's never been better, except the first 20 years that he said that, it wasn't true. There were lots of issues between no offense and headshots and you name it.
