In an interview with the Cam and Strick podcast, legendary coach Barry Trotz expressed interest in coaching an Original Six team.
Trotz opted not to coach this season, as his options were quite limited, but the opportunity to coach an original six team might take him out of retirement. The Maple Leafs are the only original six team that might be on the prowl for a head coach, thus the links are obvious.
This hiring would be a reunion between Trotz and star player John Tavares, and he could be the missing piece for a deep playoff run. Trotz brought the Islanders to two straight Eastern Conference Finals.
