Trotz resigned

I know that apparently under his old contract he got a two year extension with a 300,000 dollar increase in salary for winning the Cup but that is peanuts. He deserved more than that. He is going to be a big loss, I expect Todd Rierden will become the head coach and I like him but he has some big shoes to fill.

Wow, how generous to give him a $300K bump for a Stanley Cup win to his already low $1.5M. At least low to other coaches making $5M-$6M. That is a slap in the face and just downright disrespectful. Some more organization arrogance....it doesn’t matter who the coach is, we have the talent, mentality.....how has that worked out for us under Ted.

My understanding is that Trotz himself negotiated that 300k bump for a cup 4 years ago. If so then he slapped himself in the face.
4 Caps:
Apparently Trotz wanted five years at 5 million per year. Caps did not want to give him that long of a contract or that much money and Trotz was not willing to accept less. If that is true I can understand why a deal didn’t get done.

Maybe, but I haven't seen anything to confirm that yet. The bigger issue is fact that this organization won't/can't offer more. The only exception would be if Trotz truly is stepping away from the game and more money wouldn't make a difference.

In this market I think that is perfectly reasonable. I'm sure the contract would still be worded in a way to let the Caps fire him if need be, i.e. if he lost the locker room.
