One of the best coaches in hockey is available, and it would be surprising if the Flyers don’t take a swing at hiring him.
All of sudden, a new candidate has emerged for the Flyers’ vacant head coaching gig.
Barry Trotz, a Stanley Cup-winner and two-time Jack Adams Award recipient, was fired by the New York Islanders Monday morning after four seasons with the club. Trotz, 59, has a whopping 23 seasons of experience as an NHL head coach and has a 914-670-60-168 record in 1,812 games behind an NHL bench.
