Hersh Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 It blows my mind that the Caps didn't want to keep/pay Trotz, yet the Wiz might keep a ****ing loser of a coach for money who hasn't won ****. GMBM has completely failed as a GM the last few years. Bad signings, bad trades, horrible decision to promote Reirdon. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purbeast Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I don't remember exactly who it was for certain but I think it was Travis Thomas on his show talking about it, but he said he was basically a Caps beat reporter at the time and the reason Trotz didn't get a new contract was because he didn't kiss ass.

tshile Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Hold on. I don’t follow it all as closely as you guys do but wasn’t, at some point, a major discussion point that trotz didn’t want to be here? I remember the caps not wanting to pay element I just also seem to remember a “but he doesn’t want to be here anyway” part too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Laviolette is gonna be a one hitter quitter we are gonna run his ass out of town cause the teams gonna start to suck.

Then they ralleyed thanks to Grubauer and a good defensive system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMBM thought the assistant coach was gonna be some great head coach and didn’t want to lose home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zCommander Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I guess we won't know if Trotz would have gotten us another or even done the back to back. Things might have have been bad for him to leave after getting the cup. Don't think money was the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/capitals/now-islanders-coach-barry-trotz-explains-why-he-left-capitals Quote A source told NBC Sports Washington earlier this week that Trotz, who directed the Caps to their first Stanley Cup two weeks ago, sought $5 million per season for five seasons. The five-year term, that source said, was a non-starter as far as the Caps were concerned, given the relatively short shelf life of NHL coaches and the fact that Trotz had already been in Washington for four seasons. When it became clear that the sides weren’t going to close the considerable gap between their positions, Trotz offered to step down and the resignation was accepted, making the 55-year-old a free agent. When “I got the [counteroffer], I guess I knew it was time to go in a different direction,” he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I remember Trotz telling Tortarella after the series was over that he was gone. The decision to part ways was probably made before the playoffs even began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hail2skins Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Marc-Andre Fluery has been important to Vegas, but man did he just make an colossal error with 2 minutes left in the game that allowed Montreal to tie it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMBM is gonna have to spend some more draft capital if the Caps intend to keep him. Of course this GM is great at giving away picks and bad contracts.
