One interesting note is that historically, Trotz has always put teams in position to be top 8 in the league. Then it comes down to brass tacks. Isles vision (at least before Lou) was to get team to be top 8 consistently (they failed)
And his history is pretty winning...almost always competing

[quote=B.D. Gallof]Must be that selective memory of yours with a poor mental grip when someone discusses an interesting attribute and then you then recall it as him coming here with analytics.

Who do I think? Not a clue. Trotz makes a lot of sense in terms of lou’s “Winning now” statement. DJ Smith makes sense in terms of lou’s familiarity and JT connection. Remember.... first thing lou did was visit JT. Of vast importance to isles owners. Bc of this... just can’t say. I think it’s 50/50 and fact is...when it comes to lou... can he dead wrong and he can go in completely different direction.
As for hearing... nada. Nobody is hearing a thing from isles themselves. Lots of friends of friends and hearsay that Trotz is coming from others outside of other avenues. Others are saying Smith (not just Eklund)
Keefe and Smith comes from Toronto’s high analytics system and the Isles analytics systems is being used by Lou. So there is some interesting aspects and items there... bc one thing Lou seeks to have learned from Toronto is its heavy use.
Trotz vs DJ Smith (plus some folks like Stevens working the D) seems the 50/50 coin flip to me.
Which would mean it would hilarious if both sides were wrong and it was someone else entirely. For example...nobody really talking about Bob Hartley (coaching a KHL team now) or Marc Crawford (assistant in Ott) who are also two vet coaches.
One thing seems clear that it is most likely a coach will be announced before the draft.
Because I’ve heard nothing from isles end or even guesses... I’m going to abstain from voting and just call it: 40/40 (Trotz vs Smith) with a 20% of a lou surprise.
I couldn’t care less on guessing who and being right or wrong. In the end, isles need a coach that solves a myriad of issues: appeal to JT and best guy to lead this isles team forward. I personally prefer a vet. I liked Tippett, but he’s now working for Seattle - B.D. Gallof
Solid points. I’m hoping it’s Trotz. |

Trotz's work with the Preds without all the resources was impressive. Just think what he could do with Lou and Malkin's money. |

After the Steve Moore incident, I'm hoping it's not Crawford. Please be Trotz. |

So Trotz Wants to be a top 5 paid coach so that is between 3.25 and 6.25 million 4 about 5 years |

TRADE: The #Sens have acquired forward Mikkel Boedker, defenceman Julius Bergman and a sixth-round choice in the 2020 NHL Draft from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Mike Hoffman, Cody Donaghy and Ottawa’s fifth-round pick in 2020:
I would think that means Karlsson is staying |

It may mean they're going to try an make him stay. Hoffman I believe was getting jettisoned either way. |

Saw that Trotz stepped down...right into Lou's waiting arms and Malkin's large checkbook. - Jethro09
I saw and even if it’s not Trotz, it’s gonna be someone who’s built to win. Not some friend of Snow. |

Feel like Trotz nonsense is just a contract negotiating ploy. I still think he is going to stay in Washington. I hope I am wrong but I really feel like He just wants an offer to go back to them with as a "see they will give me .......". |

I do not think so either. Caps have to know just letting Trotz talk to the Isles would bump up the price. |
