New York Islanders hire Barry Trotz as head coach

I think it's a good choice for Barry.

Plus, the Isles have 28m in cap space. I would bet on JT staying and John Carlson coming to the Island.

UFAs that Trotz just won a cup with: Beagle, Kempny, Carlson and Chiasson. Only Carlson is going to land a huge deal. Halak is UFA, but Greiss is on a good deal. Grubauer is RFA too, and the Caps may not be able to sign him. Could be a team on the rise, fast.

Good hire for the Islanders, wonder if this means Tavares stays or not.

He should get traded for a starting goalie! That is what has been hurting this team.

be funny if tavares leaves now

Looks like Trotz will be paid around 3.8M per season. With Babcock making 8 mil in Toronto, I wonder if he could have gotten more. There was no rush.

I wonder if this means he is no longer coaching the Capitals....

Islander want no neck crap trap coach to win Cup but sieve goalie suck and Sid makes Islanders bitch

 

[Rex Racer]

Did he really sign up for only 3.8m per? Sounds like even he knows that he has has name on the cup only because Cinderella lost one of her shoes.

BTW, is he bringing a goaler along for the ride?
