"Incredibly rare for a playoff-bound NHL team to change coaches this late in the regular season: The Golden Knights have eight games left and hope to follow the 2000 New Jersey Devils, who won a Stanley Cup when Larry Robinson replaced Robbie Ftorek after 74 games."
"As for Cassidy, he would be a solid fit in Toronto. He's a Stanley Cup-winning coach and has the experience to lead an organization looking to find an identity."
"Cassidy won the Stanley Cup in his first year with Vegas in 2023. Since then, it's been a bit of an up-and-down tenure for Cassidy."
The Vegas Golden Knights fired Bruce Cassidy, replacing him with John Tortorella, a rare move for a playoff-bound team. This decision aims to boost their Stanley Cup chances. Cassidy's availability makes him a prime candidate for the Toronto Maple Leafs, who need a strong replacement for Craig Berube. Cassidy, a Stanley Cup-winning coach, has experience leading teams and could help the Maple Leafs establish their identity. His previous success with the Boston Bruins and recent championship with Vegas adds to his appeal.
