Lmao imagine thinking Trotz isn’t an elite coach.

Imagine not drooling when you speak.

Consistently coaches his teams to 40-50 win seasons.

His teams are almost always 1st or 2nd in their division.

One of 4 coaches in the 800 win club and if I had to guess I would bet that his teams goal differentials are generally pretty good overall because he usually has them playing a stricter, structured defensive fame. On his Nashville teams he was good as maximizing talent when they may not have had the elite players. Same with his NYI teams.

Also I think what made me like him as a coach was seeing him on 24/7. He seems like a respectable guy in the room, and I feel as though the results on the ice on his teams show that his players enjoy playing for him.

800 club - that longevity is impressive.

in 12 playoff appearances, hes made it out of the 2nd rd once.

So even if he was constantly outperforming regular season expectations, seems like he also consistently underperforms in the playoffs.

How many coaches have NOT made it the second round multiple times?

You don’t have to look it up. Far more than the ones that have.

While he has had trouble making it out of the second round, a few of the times it’s because they run into the eventual Stanley cup champs. I don’t really think you can fault a team from getting eliminated by the champs. My question to you would be, who do you put ahead of him? How many coaches, currently coaching that is.

Trotz is a great coach. He’s also the right coach for that islanders team. Trying to use playoff success to measure a coach is pretty fickle. Usually a team has to go through a rough stretch of 7 games before a coach will start to implement changes. Playoffs success rests mostly on the shoulders of the players.
