Winnipeg Jets' Barry Trotz alternatives: 9 remaining head coach ... (The Athletic)

Trotz was the Jets' No. 1 target, for good reason, but now the pool opens up to a wider number of options.

Neal Pionk’s sophomore season was Quinn’s first as New York’s coach; research into how Pionk improved so much in Winnipeg seemed to show the Rangers’ defence was a mess in 2018-19 but New York made the playoffs the following season. It’s hard to see what a 66-year-old coach last employed by Anaheim in 2019 can offer the Jets here and now. Carlyle spent five years in various capacities for the IHL Manitoba Moose, doing double duty as head coach and GM for his final four seasons. Call it a rebuild, a retool or any semantic name that you like: if Wheeler is traded and Winnipeg puts its focus on its next wave of players, Vincent is a candidate to coach them. Kirk Muller has made the coaching rumour mill rounds and his success as an associate coach in Calgary would hold appeal. His track record shows a lot of wins and a lot of playoff appearances but his past two seasons in Philadelphia were brutal, culminating in a 25-46-0 record and a dismissal this season. Perhaps he can do more with more in Winnipeg; Arizona has been a challenging situation for a number of seasons. Still, his track record involves a lot of wins and a lot of wins alongside Arniel, too. Hire an up-and-coming coach with a strong resume like Jim Montgomery and Winnipeg will signal an intention to win now, just as was the plan when Trotz was the top target. While I believe he is a front-runner, I also believe that Trotz’s decision is more likely to leave Winnipeg taking stock and re-evaluating right now than moving straight on to its No. 2 choice. Jim Montgomery is still a strong candidate to be the Jets’ head coach. Winnipeg will be disappointed to miss out on Trotz but has the opportunity to broaden its scope as it pivots toward a new top coaching candidate.

Barry Trotz Makes A Surprising Decision About His Future - LWOH (Last Word on Baseball)

After being let go, free agent Barry Trotz has been the top of every team's list, and he has apparently made his head coaching decision.

This has been a constant complaint amongst the NHL community, and now there seems to be a shift towards a potential solution. With Trotz taking time for his family, teams are now turning to other coaches, giving them a shot at a head coaching role. There are rumblings about Jim Montgomery being the top contender for the job, although this is unclear.

I just look at it and say if you’re the Jets we can’t go from having Scheifele and Dubois to not having either of them. I was having some big debates today from people who are like it’s time to break the mold and I don’t know I still think Winnipeg feels you have to understand the city you’re in and I think those guys with history, the Arniel’s of the world, that’s gonna be big for them. I think they always thought it was important cause it is so far hard to find centres, Copp is gone, one of Scheifele and Dubois if not both of them were going to be staying and now we know that Dubois is kind of in a bit of no mans land, although the Jets have control message ration. I think the Jets have done a lot work on Plan B as in if Plan A doesn’t work, what’s Plan B? I think Arniel has a legit chance, I think Pascal Vincent is in there, I’ve heard Tocchet’s name too and I’ve heard Montgomery’s. I’ve heard the four of them. I think they were quite prepared to do very well by Barry Trotz. And I think he could have I’ve done even better than those cases but if you’re being tempted with that kind of money and you can’t say yes by June 23rd or whatever day this is, you’re not in the right frame of mind to coach. I was talking to another coach today and he said to me, ‘you know if your hearts in it or not’. Bruce Cassidy got in the neighbourhood of 20 million from Vegas, John Tortorella got around 16 to 18 million from Philadelphia. Those were the two teams that were really in on Trotz. I don’t think money was going to be an issue in Winnipeg either.
