According to Kevin Weekes, Bruce Cassidy is going to be the new head coach of the Golden Knights.
The fired Peter DeBoer will be replaced by Cassidy in Las Vegas.
Cassidy was a hot commodity when it came to the NHL job market. Less than a week after he was fired by Boston, he agreed to join the Golden Knights.
He led the Bruins to the Stanley Cup playoffs in each of his six seasons and they made it to the Stanley Cup Final in 2019. The Boston Bruins were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
The team stumbled down the stretch and failed to make the playoffs for the first time since joining the league.
The Golden Knights made it to the conference finals in 2020 and the playoffs' final round in 2021.
The Golden Knights missed the playoffs after being a preseason Stanley Cup favorite due to injuries and salary cap challenges. They had a late-season stretch that included a loss at the Dallas Stars that was seen as a playoff game.
