#Isles News: New York Islanders President and General Manager Lou Lamoriello announced today that Barry Trotz has been relieved of his duties as Head Coach.

General manager Lou Lamoriello said there’s no timetable for a replacement to be announced.
This move really comes out of nowhere and seems so counterproductive that you’re left thinking that there has to be something more here. Trotz has been a key reason for the Islanders’ success over the last few years and he’s helped turn an average team into one of the best defensive groups in hockey. It’s hard to justify that bringing in anyone else in Trotz’s place will have any better impact for the Islanders and as an initial reaction, I don’t know what Lou Lamoriello and management were possibly thinking here.
