Barry Trotz is suddenly on the market after the New York Islanders relieved him of his duties on Monday. Could he be a potential option for the Blackhawks?
The Blackhawks are about to embark on a rebuild, and I'm not sure Trotz will have much of a desire to sign up for that because this will likely be a longer-term project. It will also be a bidding war for Trotz's services, so you have to figure a contender that's knocking on the door of a Stanley Cup will give him a blank check if they view him as the missing piece and offers a more appetizing situation.
I also thought it was noteworthy to hear GM Kyle Davidson's comments about how he wants his teams to play moving forward. While he's going to leave the specific system up to the permanent head coach, Davidson mentioned multiple times in his end-of-season press conference last week that they're looking to play an"up-tempo" style with"speed" players.
That, to me, sounds like someone who wants his teams to resemble the current Colorado Avalanche or 2009-15 Blackhawks, whose identity is to beat you off the rush and dominate the puck possession game as opposed to winning low-scoring affairs by structuring you in the defensive zone to death.
