Fooey on still playing. He should replace Torts. Canucks trade hair, and a neck for 50 extra pounds, but keep the same beard! Just move the "r" on the contract. Trotz for Tortz!

He wants to see if the PITT job comes available.. all the offensive talent he could want never available to him in NASH

What so just 2-3 players on the roster LOL. Malkin Crosby and Neal are the only offensive players on the team. Everyone else is playing in positions they don't deserve.

Shero was an asst GM during Trotz's tenure there. Shero was NOT the man who hired Trotz, but I do believe there are connections....

Have you seen the teams he had to work with? He had a bad team each year and brought them to the playoffs. He is a great coach.

I guess u can't blame Trotz if he desires Pitts or LA. I mean 15 years coaching in a quiet so not hockey town with a team that has no offense, why wouldn't he be chomping at the bit to coach a team with Syd? Or why wouldn't he wanna coach in a sexy hockey city like LA?

I seriously doubt he would want to coach the Leafs or the Nucks, two messed up teams in a frenzy hockey media. Cause why wouldn't they have hired him already?

It can happen but only if Shanny & Nonis make the effort to whoo him. Obviously they haven't by now so mabie they won't. Too bad, he's a great coach. No real offense ever in Nashville, yet the Preds were ALWAYS competetive. Unless the Preds go crazy & sign the best UFA forwards this summer, they will suffer majorly without Trotz, as they won't have his defensive system & yet they still don't have the offense.

Attempt #1281 at the same Barry Trotz joke.



I've been hearing lots of bad things from different sources that Barry might be a great coach, but he rarely sticks his neck out for his players.

Because he was under contract to another team.

FACT #2 He's been unemployed the day after the season ended. Not like he's still under contract like Deboer.

This really should become a dating site for weirdos.

A little hard when people flip flop on what gender they are. Kinda counter productive.

He's from BC and Vancouver is a desired location for coaches, execs and players. If the Canucks wanted him that badly, he'd already be the coach. The same goes for Toronto.
- strombone


He is not from BC. He's from Dauphin, Manitoba. With Leipold and Suter in Minnesota and being close to Winnepeg, he's headed to Minnesota.

Minnie would be a perfect fit for him. LA is too sexy for him. He'd be in way over his head with all that offense in Pitts. I doubt he wants the headaches of lousy teams & the insane media in Tor or Van. So yeah if he gets offered the Minnie job, he should take it.
