Coaching Notes: Newcomers, Aubin, Trotz

June 3, 2022 at 12:14 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 4 Comments

There are a ton of veteran head coaches on the market this summer but for some teams, hiring a new face might be more appealing. Not only does it usually come at a much lower cost, but some of the up-and-coming options may also look even more attractive after their recent success in the minor leagues, junior ranks, or as assistants.

Today, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic examined some of the younger or more inexperienced options that could be available this summer, including names like Derek Lalonde, Jeff Halpern, and Spencer Carbery, all currently serving as NHL assistants. It’s quite an extensive list and includes some outside-the-box suggestions, including someone like Jukka Jalonen, head coach of the Finnish national team. Jalonen recently took Finland to gold at both the Olympics and World Championship and has a long history of success on the international stage.

  • Another option from overseas not on LeBrun’s list is Serge Aubin, who got a shoutout in Elliotte Friedman’s latest for Sportsnet. The former NHL forward has been coaching in Germany for the past three seasons, and before that was leading benches in Switzerland and Austria. Friedman writes that Aubin could be getting attention for an AHL coaching role at the moment.
  • Like every coaching discussion right now, things always work their way back to Barry Trotz and his impending decision on where to go next. Friedman suggests that the whole carousel might be being held up by the veteran coach but also notes that the Winnipeg Jets are “very very serious” about Trotz and may not have even done any detailed interviews with other candidates to this point. The Dallas Stars, Detroit Red Wings, Philadelphia Flyers, and Vegas Golden Knights are the other teams currently linked to Trotz, as the hockey world waits on his decision.

    If St Louis happens to lose Jim Montgomery to fill a head coaching spot to another team…Do you think Drew Bannister gets the opportunity to move up the ladder? If so, who would be in line for the Springfield slot?

    Anywhere except Vegas Trotz. Please. Vegas doesn’t deserve you.

    Vegas would unceremoniously can Trotz, just like they did to Gallant. Trotz should stay away from Sin City.
