It'll be interesting to see what else gets reported now. Friedman's tweets make it sound like this was Ted being cheap, but maybe the sticking points really related to the other "issues" they had to work out.
That's not what Friedman said.

I get him doing it. Even if he sits a year, someone is at a minimum giving him 3 years, maybe 4.

Probably best for all involved. He leaves Washington a hero. He always has a place here. He can go start the organization in Seattle or pick from a number of opportunities.
The Caps can promote Rierdon, which was obviously the plan all along.
I am ok with it.

It says that he wasant a free agent and that there was a 2 year extension for winning cup

I'd assume the issues are exactly what Friedman stated above. The extension was due to kick in but the $$ wasn't market value compared to top coaches

I hope this wasn't a case of Leonsis and Patrick just being cheapasses when it comes to coaching contracts, and more just a case of Trotz deciding it's time to move on.
I get that there was an extension in place for winning the Cup but they certainly had to be able to re-negotiate, right?

Brilliant. Just frigging brilliant. The organEYEzation had to throw some shade on itself.
Yeah, that's the simplest explanation. Just amazing that they're that cheap. Never mind that it's bad in the terms Ted cares about to be seen as that cheap.

Interesting times... I hope that everything was handled well and there are no hard feelings for anyone.
The proof will be in the pudding with respect Reirden’s success/ability.
If we don’t go back to back, there will always be questions now.....

The only thing that makes sense is if that random report from one of the other threads was true indicating that Reirden's schemes were used in the playoffs. That would be a huge sticking point in negotiations with Trotz

I remember making a post about Trotz and Carlson and contact extensions that people wouldn't think was worth the money. I got grief about suggesting a coach's contract wouldnt be worth the money. Well....the Caps lost a hall of fame/cup winning coach over the size of his contract
