I hope he doesn't. From what I have read, the GM and owner in Vegas I've treated players, coaches, etc. quite shabbily.Kinda knew hed go there
I hope Bruce knows what he's getting into. Good luck to him.

your not really going out on the limb thereHe will get them back to playoffs wait and see.
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.
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).
Not a chance with Neely, Sweeney at best would be an AGMThat's much faster than it would take Sweeney and Neely to get a new gig in the NHL. Heck, I honestly don't think any other team would hire Neely unless they wanted someone up on the 9th floor who would act like they need to be institutionalized after every goal scored.
I would agree on Sweeney, but then I remembered that Chiarelli got another GM gig after he was canned.Not a chance with Neely, Sweeney at best would be an AGM
Yea that was a surprise at the time, but if u look back on it Chia built a Stanley Cup team, something Sweeney hasn't been able to do despite having many of the key pieces already in place for him. He's kind of been in a self destruct mode more so than adding the final key pieces, but your right someone may take a shot at him. If so I hope their in the east.I would agree on Sweeney, but then I remembered that Chiarelli got another GM gig after he was canned.
Why ? I would think they will get along great with the area ties. I’m Cassidy I keep my house in Winchester and retire here where he’s a hockey God. Get a place in Vegas as well but he can afford bothCongratulations and good luck to him.
Think this improves the odds Eichel comes home?
The funny thing about that was that there were several of us that went to the Edmonton board and warned them about what they were in for and that things would come crumbling down at the end. They thought it was just sour grapes. Little did they know that we were just trying to warn them.Yea that was a surprise at the time, but if u look back on it Chia built a Stanley Cup team, something Sweeney hasn't been able to do despite having many of the key pieces already in place for him.

Even Mike O'Connell wound up with an office job with the Kings and won the cup with them IIRC.yep….may take Sweeney a year or so but he’d get back to some team office. As you say AGM or Player Personnel, etc…
Neely? Not gonna happen.
He doesn’t call out the top of the lineupMight be in minority but I dont think this is a good fit for Bruce, weak locker room and no depth. How long until Eichel, Lehner et. al get sick of being called out? (they dont keep things in the locker room like the bruins). Good luck Butch, Ill be rooting for you. prove me wrong!

I may be reading way too much into that, but feels like a bit of a dig at Sweeneely lol
Don't be so sure about Sweeney either. His record is mixed, to say the least. Certainly, no one outside of 617 is going to hire cam newly for hockey operations job.yep….may take Sweeney a year or so but he’d get back to some team office. As you say AGM or Player Personnel, etc…
