Oilers Stuck in Coaching Standoff
Description
The Edmonton Oilers are locked in a high-stakes standoff over Bruce Cassidy, their top coaching target, as Vegas refuses to grant interviews and escalates tensions. Firing Kris Knoblauch solely to pursue Cassidy, the Oilers now face mounting pressure — Cassidy himself is frustrated by the blockade, while Vegas GM Kelly McCrimmon accuses Edmonton of leaking info to force a deal. With Cassidy’s availability uncertain, insiders are urging the Oilers to seriously consider backup candidates like Laviolette, Berube, or even Bednar — warning that waiting too long could leave them scrambling with no top-tier options.
