watch the game, everything else is noise
The question has to be asked. Is Barry Trotz a good fit in Chicago? IMO, it's a no-brainer. Promote Q now.
Trotz takes a year off, Quenneville screws up again and leads Hawks to a top five pick in the draft, Trotz hired on a three year contract for 2019-20 with Colliton as a bench coach learning the ropes, Colliton taking over for 2022-23 season after another cup win in 2022.Rather go with Colliton if there is a change. Fire away.
Certainly would be an interesting coach for the Hawks. Would have a wealth of knowledge about Hawks players from first hand observation and game planning against.
Edit: Also, heard from an interview after the Cup that he was going to discuss the future with his family, and likely wants to take time off to be home.
Yeah, that thought crossed my mind. Trotz seems like a guy who may just walk away from the game.
Yep, he's definitely walking away from the game. It had nothing to do with the automatic extension.Yeah, that thought crossed my mind. Trotz seems like a guy who may just walk away from the game.
Truer words have never been spokenThe whinging about Q done here will be the same if Trotz is the coach. When I think of it, no matter who the coach is, there will be whining regardless.
As Bubba said above, Trotz can and will adapt his systems and use players to their strengths unlike Q
too bad that it seems Mcd is in love with Q and thus is clouded by the 3 cups that Q won with the hawks.
Trotz does not fit here, he fits with a team that does not have a young up and coming coach in the organization that the team wants to promote.
I think he would be a good candidate to fix the edmonton mess
