Bruce is not going to have a fun summer
While the Bruins begin their offseason preparations, Cassidy will undergo a knee replacement next week, and his rehab is expected to take the rest of the summer. He’s expected to be ready for training camp.
Bruins say Bruce Cassidy's contract status will be addressed...
“He’s under contract, so we have decisions that we’re going to progress with, and he’ll be part of that,” general manager Don Sweeney said. “He’s under contract, so it’s not a concern right now, but we will address it.”
En route to the Stanley Cup final, Cassidy outcoached Toronto’s Mike Babcock, Columbus’ John Tortorella and Carolina’s Rod Brind’Amour. The Blues’ Craig Berube proved to be the Cup-winning coach.
Babcock, who won a Stanley Cup with the Detroit Red Wings, earns $6.25 million per season with the Maple Leafs. Former three-time Cup-winning coach Joel Quenneville with the Chicago Blackhawks was recently given a five-year deal worth $5.25 million per season. New York Islanders coach Barry Trotz, who won a Cup with the Capitals in 2018, earns $4 million per season.
The Philadelphia Flyers recently named Alain Vigneault coach and gave him a five-year deal worth $5 million per season. New York Rangers coach David Quinn just completed his first year as an NHL coach, and he earns $2.4 million per season. Even recently named Buffalo Sabres coach Ralph Krueger, who hasn’t coached in the NHL since 2012-13, is making $3.9 million per season.
Safe to say Cassidy deserves a pay raise and job security.
“It’s something that obviously Don’s got to deal with this offseason, and then he’ll talk to me about where he thinks it’s going to land,” team president Cam Neely explained. “Yeah, the landscape has changed a little bit, so Don will certainly start those conversations with Butch and his representative.”
