We had believed Trotz was a free agent this summer. That’s not correct. There was a two-year extension if he won the Cup in WASH. But, as coaches’ contracts have exploded in value, it was below the current market. Both sides tried to negotiate an extension....

But they could not come to terms. Trotz is now a free agent, as WASH will grant permission to other teams who want to talk to him. 3/3

THIS IS (frank)ING IT RIGHT HERE

You've gotta think Trotz would guarantee a JT return

I don't want to get my hopes up. This team burned me too many times.

Theres only one spot available in the nhl currently and the isles need a big time coach so badly and its before the draft, I think its happening

It may, but I won't assume anything until its done. Like I said we've been burned too many times.

If trotz takes over with lou jt is staying and other players will come here, this is huge IF it happens

Definitely a big deal if it happens. The Islanders will be vaulted into true contender status with relevant players looking to come over.

I think it's very possible, but I also understand Jimmy's point as well.

I think you shared the wrong twitter post.

Edit: Fixed the quote too.

unless someones SUDDENLY is booted from coaching position, it's Trotz


unless Lou REALLY in love with someone else. (DJ Smith, Stevens, etc)

I think you shared the wrong twitter post.
