On July 5th, 2018 New York Islanders created a vacancy at the Head Coach position after firing Doug Weight alongside former GM Garth Snow.
For as long as we can remember the New York Islanders have always either promoted from within or tried to find a coach coming up through the AHL. With few exceptions. And of course it’s rarely worked.
Now with Lou Lamoriello in place, and with owners who seem to want to spend, it’s time to bring in a coach with some experience. A coach with championship level caliber. Like Barry Trotz.
He’s Now A Free Agent
On Monday, Barry Trotz resigned from his position with the Washington Capitals as their head coach.
