Barry Trotz Hints At What He Might Be Looking For in His Next Gig

Barry Trotz's firing left one of the NHL's most decorated coaching a free agent. The demand for top head coaches has arguably never been higher, and Trotz can basically pick and choose his next job; benefit of winning over 900 NHL games.

In his appearance on The Cam and Strick Podcast, Trotz was asked if a Canadian or Original Six market would appeal to him.

Could Trotz be the next head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs? It is an interesting idea to throw around.

The New York Islanders are missing Trotz out of the gate. They currently sit last in the Metropolitan Division at 2-4. It seems like every defensive edge they had under Trotz has been eroded in his short absence.

They place bottom-five in scoring chances allowed per 60 minutes. So far this season, they surrender a full .2 goals per game more than last season (2.81 in 21-22, 3.00 in 22-23).

It feels like someone ought to hire this guy.
