Trotz in talks with Capitals about contract extension

Washington Capitals coach Barry Trotz told the crowd at Tuesday’s Stanley Cup parade that “we’re gonna do it again” next year. If that was only an implication of his desire to return to the team, his comments Wednesday made it clear.

Trotz told reporters Wednesday that he wants to return as head coach of the team, and he is talking with general manager Brian MacLellan about a contract extension.

“There’s some things that we have to work out,” Trotz said. “I’ve talked to Mac. If we can get them worked out, then there’s no question. I love the group of guys.
