god loving drat it Lou Lam is sabotaging the Islanders. Trotz gonna get hired by the Devils or Flyers or something and stop the old, backwards-rear end Islanders. At this point, I won't even be disappointed by the now completely expected exodus of Barzal and other young talent. Well, any young talent that Lou hasn't already traded away. Can't wait for Trotz and Mitch Korn the goalie whisperer to go to a division rival and have some Philly third stringer stonewall us again and again and again. All the rain is piss today. Fuckin' Lou Lam raiding the nursing home for wingers and d men, letting any hope die with the blue skies to go with. I'm beyond words dumbfounded and mad. What player wants to come to the Islanders? "Welcome to Long Island! We've got Werthers Originals, Humira, and $5x7 deals for anyone who can put up 20 points? Nobody? No one? $7x7? Any takers? Welp, guess we better sign Matt Martin again"

Eric the Mauve posted:I have a hard time seeing where Trotz is likely to land. Trotz to the Knights should be a loving slam dunk but they're probably too dumb to make it happen. Likewise the Flyers. Yzerman will probably call him but not sure if he wants to take on a rebuilding team at his age or follow Stevie's marching orders. The Devils would be a real interesting fit if they fired Ruff but they didn't and they're stupid so that won't happen. The Maple Leafs should give him a blank loving check but I can't see Shanahan/Dubas doing that, plus he may already have taken another job in the week it will take them to get eliminated and fire Keefe. I can't imagine Trotz would want to bother with a team that is in full rebuild mode, but it'd be interesting if he was. I guess there might be other intriguing options for him in the next couple weeks depending on who gets eliminated. Also, can anyone bank on hiring Quenneville? I thought he had to seek permission directly from Bettman to be re-instated, and while my expectations for this league are very low, I'm not sure that's a slam dunk.

How many playoff teams should be throwing vials of covid into their own locker room right now to get eliminated before somebody else grabs Trotz.

If the last two seasons have taught us anything, it's that the Knights will throw money and goodwill at even marginal improvements to the roster, so it would seem a slam dunk. Particularly as they need someone that can work with an old and creaky roster.

I'd say I think it's gonna be Q to the Isles. But Q may be smart enough to realize that while aggressively protecting an active rapist didn't end his career, taking the Islanders job right now probably will. So yeah it very well might be Babcock. Like that job is the world's most obvious career killer for a coach. Whoever takes it has to be desperate for any NHL job, or just dumb.

Dammit.

If you were to look at the Islanders roster for the past two seasons, you probably wouldn't guess that they had back-to-back Conference Finals visits. It really does feel like Trotz elevated this team.

Why the hell couldn't Jarmo have just thrown an Interim tag on Larsen so they could've potentially upgraded if someone like, I don't know, Barry Trotz came available? ...who am I kidding, they could've had Gallant and passed.

For teams that just missed the playoffs, Vegas seems like the best choice. I feel like there's at least two or three teams currently in the playoffs that could be interested too though

Probably because they're still negotiating with Q and Plan B is to just let DeBoer come back

lol I was going to joke that Vegas needed some time to research the shittiest and scummiest way to fire DeBoer, but backdoor negotiations with Q would surely fit the bill

Trotz's mom passed away last year and his dad still lives in Dauphin. Trotz coaching the Jets would be a Hallmark movie in the waiting. Local-born big shot coach comes back to the small city to coach the local team and spend time with his lonely father while also learning the true meaning of Christmas.

If Trotz actually took the Winnipeg job from among multiple offers you could only assume it's a semiretirement gig to him and he won't really give a poo poo
