Confirmed with Link: Cassidy to VGK - per Kevin Weekes

[crimsonace]

Kevin Weekes - who is in Denver covering the Cup Final - says Bruce Cassidy is headed to Vegas.


Good landing spot for Bruce - Vegas is a veteran team in win-now mode that underachieved a bit last year. If they get the right mix and buy into his system, they'll be a Cup contender in the West (although Colorado looks to be a tough out for the near future).

Kinda knew hed go there

He did always seem to have a nice tan. Makes sense!

 

[lopey]

Well no shock there. Sweeney is a bum

 

[EverettMike]

Said immediately that was the perfect spot for him. Lot of talent on that roster that his style will gel well with. And they fired the NHL's best coach and brought in arguably its worse retread, so they need a big upgrade there and now they have it.

 

[crimsonace]

That there is a pretty significant ex-Bruins presence in the front office might have helped grease the wheels for Bruce, too. Of VGK, Dallas & Detroit, Vegas always seemed like the best fit for him.

 

[quietbruinfan]

Do not think he fits the style of most of the personnel, but good luck Bruce. It was for the best after all.

Please *clap* give *clap* Weekes *clap* his *clap* own *clap* tag



*clap* *clap* *clap*

I wish him all the best but I'm not sure he's the right fit for them.

 

[Flannelman]

Congratulations, wish him the best.

 

[McGarnagle]

They'll be much better with him instead of that empty suit DeBoer

 

[BruinsBtn]

That's a great spot for him. It's the best spot that's available and it was probably an easy call given how that organization is first class. He will do great there.

No regrets about firing him though. 6 years is the max shelf life for almost any coach. It is what it is.

The next step is trading Debrusk to Vegas

 

[Jim]

Watch how quick Eichel starts whining. I give it until February, and he’s back in the rumor mill.

 

[Dellstrom]

Saw that coming a mile away. He will be great there.

Loll. Almost spit my beer out laughing. That would be comical.

haha, my fiancee always said Bruce looks like he spray tans.

Now I guess he can get a natural one?

 

[22Brad Park]

He will get them back to playoffs wait and see.

Lol I did always wonder if he was using the tan in a bottle.

Safer than the radiation tubes people sit in anyways

 

[Dr Hook]

He is a big golfer, too- it's a good fit that way as well.

I never found any info about Bruce's background but being from Ontario with his tan skin tone and the way his eyes are shaped, I always assumed he had some indigenous ancestry. But that's just speculation on my part, I've never seen it as fact.

 

[Cronuss]

Will have a Cup within 5 years, maybe less.

If Sweeney and Neely were cut loose they too would get a primo job like this in no time, right? Right?

Not gonna lie, Sweeney probably would get another shot. At worst he'd be picked up as an AGM with someone he's got connections with.

Neely on the other hand has burned all his goodwill in this town and is shit out of luck if he loses this gravy train.
