Coaching and management changes around the league

How bout bad goalies gets good coach fired? How does the GM not eat it for an absolutely terrible trade and asset management?

Personally I wouldn't trash Knoblauch.

Personally, I’d like Stan Bowman to inadvertently run Connor McDavid into Toronto’s welcoming arms.

My understanding is that there is nothing in standard coaching contracts that say employers of fired coaches are obligated to let them interview elsewhere.

Common practice in the very insular and nepotistic and incestuous NHL is to let fired folks seek gainful employment should the opportunity arise. Same with promotion opportunities. Lateral moves are usually stopped unless the team isn’t going to use them.

Vegas has apparently already prevented some of their assistant coaches/ AHL staff from interviewing.

I'm not disputing any of this. But no matter how you look at this, it's a dick move.

You fired the guy and are trying to extort teams who might be interested in him? If he meant so much to you why did you fire him?

I just have no respect for that organization.
 
There’s no extortion per se (that other tweet from earlier is beautiful satire that I wish I thought of myself). But it certainly would be great to see the league collectively blackball the Knights.
