-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Statement from the Washington Capitals on Barry Trotz: Quote Barry Trotz informed the organization today of his decision to resign as head coach of the Washington Capitals. We are obviously disappointed by Barry's decision, but would like to thank Barry for all his efforts the past four years and for helping bring the Stanley Cup to Washington. Barry is a man of high character and integrity and we are grateful for his leadership and for all that he has done for our franchise. https://www.nhl.com/capitals/news/statement-from-the-washington-capitals-on-barry-trotz/c-299100932 Per Elliotte Friedman via Twitter: Quote "We had believed Trotz was a free agent this summer. That’s not correct. There was a two-year extension if he won the Cup in WASH. But, as coaches’ contracts have exploded in value, it was below the current market. Both sides tried to negotiate an extension, but they could not come to terms. Trotz is now a free agent, as WASH will grant permission to other teams who want to talk to him."

Rush17 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Caps fans can't be happy about this. Here come the Trotz to NYI rumours lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Not surprised. There were plenty of rumours that Trotz wouldn't be back next year, win or lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I can't understand why Washington wouldn't give Trotz a raise; especially after winning a cup. I was quite surprised to find out he was only making 1.5 million a year while other coaches were double or triple that amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awalk Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 They have an excellent coaching staff and can now promote Reirden into the head coach spot. This is probably the best thing for both sides in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably the best thing for both sides in the long run. Can? I bet that was the plan all along. He was promoted from assistant coach to associate coach, apparently without any consultation from Trotz at all. The Caps had Reirden all lined up to take over when Trotz's contract ran out and then Trotz messed things up by coaching the team to a Stanley Cup win.

Quantum Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Predictions: Barry Trotz to NYI Todd Reidren becomes the new Capitals head coach (he has been groomed as the next guy for awhile and is the "Associate Coach"). If not Todd Reirden, I assume Troy Mann (Hershey Bear's head coach) will get the job. Doubt the Caps hire an external candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerrDrFunk Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Just now, mll said: Ah, that explains that. Personally, I would have renegotiated with Trotz but if Reirden was the plan all along, then there's not much to be done and I'm sure Trotz will get a hefty raise from one of the many teams who will come calling.
