Trotz resigned
Second Sucks:
Okay, so Trotz is out and Reirdon seems to be the heir apparent. What is the infatuation with this team hiring coaches with no NHL head coaching experience. They had one of the greatest players of his generation in his prime and none could get past the second round.

Reactions from BMGM. Seems like Mick nailed it that it seems to be money related, but still word out on a possible retirement. He also indicated term may be the problem too perhaps he wanted less seasons? But we wanted more money for more seasons? I don't know.
If Trotz goes to another team it'll be a huge loss for us. Huge. Especially if it's a in division competitor like the Isles etc.

that was humiliating. . . .
The combination of arrogance faux-conifidance under the guise of "professionalism" ijusr indication that he was bullied, out-maneuvered, and out played in the negations, again. Particularly when there is little to no regulations,(compared to a players), on the contract.
I hope those VIP seat holders, and the rest of the STH won't mind their prices going through the roof while knowing the team won't man up and keep one of the winningest coaches of all time.

Agreed. . . that video just showed Trotz and his reps had all the power. To many answers while trying to be a "mice Bill Bellicheck".
This Coach Killing sure as hell can't be marked uo to Ovie.

Coaches make big bucks these days.. But I guess 5x5 is a little on the stiff side for a 1st time Cup winner? 5mil x 3, with a 2 year extension option sounds better to me, but then it's not my money so.. But I can see the scenario where we start sucking and they want a new coach in 2 years. Then what? Pay him 15 million to go away? With the team getting older, Ted and co. probably didn't think the coaching position was a "top" priority? Probably the wrong assumption and thoughts of a back to back Cup run down the drain, but they'll save a few million bucks.. :wackysmile: <---- I knew it wouldn't be long before I found a use for that goofy bastard again! :rofl:
4 Caps:

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.

If he signed a 5 year contract and the Caps fired him at some point he would still get paid for the remainder of the contract unless he accepted another job that paid him as much or more than his Caps contract.
