That's definitely correct. He said he'll consider it.

He'll consider it, right up until he gets a big fat paycheck from a franchise with a possible more competent GM or one where maybe he can help pick the GM. In other words, I think Trotz ends up in DC, with the GM of his choice, as both McPhee and Oates will be on way out soon.

That team is a reflection of David Poile being David Poile than anything Trotz could do. Sometimes though you need a change so things get so bad they bottom out like in Buffalo.

it's poile + tight budget + not an appealing destination for free agents + being stuck in the NHL middle class and not getting blue chip draft picks

Michel Therrien! Too bad he's doing too well in Montreal and likely won't be sent packing

Funny though, as Montreal actually re-hired him - he's on his 2nd stint now. I believe that's quite rare in hockey.

I just hope that it doesn't eventually happen with HCDB as well...

Even his backers would have to admit he has a lot of growing to do as a coach...growth usually happens between gigs...who knows what he looks like down the road. I would guess hes in the very early stages of his career.

Stanley Cup or bust for Pittsburgh. Disco has a lot of work to do. These points are implied. Byslma is in his fifth full season with the Penguins. That is the longest tenure in Penguins history.

If he is going to be fired at season's end, why did Shero just extend DB last year? To me that would be a sign about Shero. Why extend a guy who hasn't lived up to the growing expectations in the first place? DB should've been let go at the end of the playoffs last year.

Its not unusual for a team to extend a coach so they arent coaching with less than a year on their term. Prevents them from being a lame duck.

Class response from a class person/coach. You'll be working by the Fall, if you want to.

Totally agree. Trotz really was a big part of that Nashville team that was so competitive for the last 10 years when they had so little to work with...Trotz gone, Legwand gone, maybe it's time for Poile to go and really give this team a fresh start...

How about Larry Robinson?

16 years is a long time to do anything and maybe a change behind the bench will help. I agree that Poile needs to go. A lot of great goaltenders and defensemen have been drafted but he couldn't draft a develop and top scorer to save his life. Any offense at all and Trotz would still be there.

Robinson doesn't want to be a head coach anymore I don't think...He has stated he has always liked the assistant position to teach defensman etc. He doesn't like the pressure of the head coach job...can't blame him...

And he is the best defense coach in the league in terms of making defensemen better. During the offseason, my number one goal is to learn more about his ways...

Please, no Barry Trotz. Enough of the Nashville Predators

I'd love to see what Trotz would do with a complete set of NHL forwards. The worst lineup the pens iced this season would still be far and away better than his best forward lineup in Nashville.

Peter Laviolette is the next head coach of the Nashville Predators with Phil Housley as an assistant coach. Look out Bobby Orr, Shea Weber is about to have a 200 point season...

Nashville just called timeout.

Too soon?

Somewhere some yinzer is blaming Shero for not firing Bylsma fast enough to hire Laviolette.

Crankshaft · Post by **Crankshaft** » Tue May 06, 2014 9:07 pm

Not going to lie, I was kind of bummed he won't be an option for the Pens if they do decide to part ways with Bylsma.

Penguins should be in the conference finals barring an epic meltdown. Bylsma will be safe again.
