Rory Boylen of Sportsnet opines about what could be next for Barry Trotz. After the New York Islanders, there are few, if any, fits. Even if teams would consider an upgrade, what would the price tag be? That is a huge question.
Consider teams like Buffalo and Minnesota. Would Phil Housely step back to the assistant role? Could Minnesota start with the coach? If Bruce Boudreau were to be dismissed, the Islanders would hire Boudreau in three minutes. Seattle is likely the most far-fetched option given Dave Tippett has already been brought in. Trotz probably does not want to wait to coach a team again.
