Trotz resigns as head coach of the Caps. Hmmm...
Was a lame duck coach as his contract was not extended before the season. Do not blame him at all for walking away. Owner and GM will get grilled for this.
$300,000 raise to $1.8M a year well below market value for a coach with his resume.
According to Friedman and Pierre LeBrun, there was a two-year contract extension on the table for Trotz if the Capitals won the Stanley Cup this season. However, it was below market value given the state of head coaching contracts and the two sides couldn’t agree to a new deal. Trotz now is a free agent.
