"I don't think Cassidy and DeBoer were going to have it," Valiquette said, adding, "I think it was (personalities at the top). They didn't have a great experience with him in Vegas."
Valiquette hinted that there was conflict between Thompson and the Golden Knights, too, which possibly played a role in him being held off the roster.
"There were times they wanted him to play and he wasn't available. I know a little bit about what happened there, and I can't get into it," Valiquette added. "It was never going to happen."
Tuo viimeinen kappale on mielenkiintoisin. Mitä tarkoitetaan tuossa availablella? Oliko erimielisyyttä pelikunnosta vai mistä? Thompsonhan on sanonut, että hänellä ei ole kaunaa Vegasia kohtaan.
