No one can say for sure, but it doesn't look like money are a problem for the current owners.

How many NHL head coaches are praying right now for Isles to hire Trotz?

 

[YearlyLottery]

Amazing to think they went from Snow and Weight to Lamoriello and potentially Trotz.

 

[SI90]

I think he retracted that and said they may not have spoken directly yet?

It’s unknown if Botta still has good sources within the isles organization. Especially now that Lou is running the show.

Quite a lot, I'd imagine

More interesting tweets.

Apparently Barry heading to Seattle to talk to their group. Makes sense if he wants to sit out a year

 

[hockeykicker]

Barry is on a plane to seattle per reports

Jimmy Murphy tweeted that both sides are mulling their options and Lou wants Trotz on the plane to the draft tomorrow.
Lou must think his offer is an acceptable one. We will know soon enough if Trotz agrees

Well unless lou is in seattle, trotz is going the wrong way

Here's the tweet you're referencing. Seems as if Barry just wants to get paid

Could be meeting with Seattle today or tomorrow and then catching a flight to Dallas to be there before the draft.

Trotz is doing what anyone in his shoes should do: let all his potential new teams tell him their plans and see what terms they are offering.
In other words " mulling his options"

 

[Sempiternal]

Trotz, Tavares, Kovalchuk and Sorokin for 2018/19?

Thanks for posting this.

I would be looking to cash in too, if I was in Trotz's position.

He's been everywhere today! Maybe he does have a deal in place with the NYI and is heading home for now

In another thread we were told the Islanders and Lou Lamoriello want to have a coach before the draft which is this Friday. Considering where Trotz is now if he had worked out an agreement wouldn't be in New York for some press conference to announce it and flying to Dallas to be at the draft this Friday and Saturday.

 

[Newsworthy]

I like Trotz as a coach but don't see a need to hire him in NY.

Why exactly do you not see a need for him in NY? Babcock didn't need to come to Toronto either. Nobody needs to hire anybody anywhere by that logic. I'm willing the bet the NY islanders fans who suffered through numb nuts and dipshit for the past few years feel differently than you.

 

[LeafChief]

Getting Trotz and Lou in one off-season would be huge. Good for the Isles if they pull it off.

Trotz was seen in Newark the same day his resignation was announced. That's some fast work.
