#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.� New York Islanders (@NYIslanders) May 9, 2022

Having finished his 4th season with the team, Trotz lead the Islanders to the playoffs in each of his first 3 season with the team.

The Islanders were eliminated in each of the past 2 postseasons by Tampa Bay, who would go on to win the Stanley Cup in both seasons.

With the firing you have to wonder if the Islanders brain trust is planning a rebuild, and also which team will try to scoop up Trotz who is sure to draw a lot of interest.

Clubs with coaching vacancies or considering a change will have Trotz high on their radar. However, some believe Trotz also has interest in jumping into a management role. What is certain is that he will have options to be considered. https://t.co/rpOVo0Jocb� Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) May 9, 2022
