Ever since Washington Capitals general manager Brian MacLellan decided to postpone his end of the season press conference, there has been a lot of speculation. Most of it revolves around the future of Capitals head coach Barry Trotz. With one year left on his contract, MacLellan had to make a decision.
Should he keep Trotz for another season, give him an extension or fire him? The Caps will be retaining the services of their head coach through next season. At this time, Trotz has not been given an extension.
Since joining the Capitals, they have won consecutive President Trophies as the team with the best regular season record.
