What does a top coach mean for the Blackhawks?
Blackhawks fans are excited for their future and not so much present after another dreadful season, a worst since 2005. Fans and management believe it's key to have a coach that is on board with the rebuild plan, and the Blackhawks have announced they'll be speaking with two coaches shortly.
The two new candidates that the Blackhawks have reached out for permission to speak to are Montreal Canadiens assistant coach Luke Richardson, and also Vancouver Canucks assistant coach Brad Shaw.
But most are shaking their heads thinking; why not Barry Trotz? Bruce Cassidy?Well Trotz is not a fan of the Blackhawks due to Kyle Davidsons rebuild plan and would much rather coach a structured built team.
And seems as if Trotz may have found his coaching home, and it is on known stomping grounds in Nashville. Trotz began coaching with the Nashville Predators in the 1998-99 season lasting a whopping fifteen years with the team where he took his talents to the Washington Capitals than proceeded to the New York Islanders.
Spending fifteen years in Nashville gave Trotz the opportunity to move elsewhere for a fresh start (Washington) but it seems as if Trotz has moved back to Nashville as he was seen buying a home in the heart of Nashville for over a million, as well as nearly $300,000 over asking price.. is Trotz heading back home to coach??
