Update On Barry Trotz

May 20, 2022 at 5:14 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 17 Comments

5:14 pm: Chicago Blackhawks beat writer Jay Zawaski reports that the Blackhawks are one of the teams that have inquired about Trotz’s services. However, the team isn’t too optimistic about their chances of landing the free-agent coach, noting that they don’t expect him to want to lead a rebuild. If that’s true, it’s obviously unlikely that he would seriously consider heading to Philadelphia as well.

1:06 pm: One of the hottest free agents in the NHL right now is head coach Barry Trotz, who parted ways with the New York Islanders earlier this month. Trotz had already been linked to the Winnipeg Jets, and recently rumors had emerged that he would interview for the Philadelphia Flyers job on Friday.

It doesn’t appear as though those rumors are true, though Sam Carchidi of Philly Hockey Now tweets that Trotz will meet with Philadelphia brass “soon.” Notably, they weren’t the only teams to reach out, as Nick Kypreos of Sportsnet reports that six to seven teams have already contacted the Trotz camp. Kypreos adds that teams believe the price tag will be in the $6MM range, more than the $4MM he was earning per year with the Islanders. Trotz had one year remaining on his deal when he was relieved of his duties.

Of course, the Flyers are also paying Alain Vigneault $5MM/year through the 2023-24 season, meaning committing to Trotz as well would be an incredibly expensive proposition. When team chairman Dave Scott said that he was giving general manager Chuck Fletcher a “blank check” to fix the group, most expected that to mean spending big on free agent players; perhaps it will also mean on a head coach.

Trotz is one of many experienced bench bosses on the market, and was something of a surprise addition after taking the Islanders to two consecutive Conference Finals, before missing the playoffs this season. Since winning the Stanley Cup with the Washington Capitals in 2018, he has generally been regarded as one of the most effective coaches in the league.

      Unfortunately they will rinse, repeat, experience the same pathetic results and wonder why lol

      Tochett hasn’t been a successful coach, he’s old school hockey that doesn’t work anymore.

    Trotz to Winnipeg just makes too much sense if the Jets are willing to meet the price.

    If Trotz did his interview with Philly than why wouldn’t CHI do one with him out of due diligence?

      You do realize Winnipeg has probably the richest owner in the league! Google it. Trots will be their if it’s where he want to go! I doubt he wants to go their, but they can easily afford his price.

    Trotz not going to Chicago has nothing to do with them rebuilding and everything to do with the kindergarten level management group the Wirtz family has implemented. Davidson would have a tough time getting Colliton back, and he’s not even an NHL caliber coach
