Wilson would be my guess

Re: Barry Trotz will not return as Predators' coach
I'll bet it will be a relative unknown up and comer, a la Mike Yeo. Not a known quantity like a recycled NHL coach... Nashville wants technical coaches IMO, not a personality contest type of guy.Originally Posted by Axeman33

Re: Barry Trotz will not return as Predators' coach
There has been rumblings about him possibly being fired over the last 1-2 weeks so this does not surprise me. He's done a fantastic job with the roster his GM has given him over the years. He'd be a great coach in almost any market in the NHL. I'd assume he'd be linked to Toronto and Vancouver vacancies once they open up. Although, I do not think Vancouver is really a good option for him. He's a defense first coach correct? When I watched Linden speak at his presser he talked more about offense than defense, so that tells me Trotz would not be someone they'd look at? They'd be fools not to look at Trotz though.
Re: Barry Trotz will not return as Predators' coach
I saw that too about Linden, but I don't know if he knows all too much about coaching hockey or style of play.. He knows maybe what he thinks the consumer wants to see, but I'm not ready to put too much stock into him just yet. VAN is a mess.

Re: Barry Trotz will not return as Predators' coach
Also keep an on eye on Carolina, Muller isn't safe at all and I'd bet the Canes would love to land Trotz there.
Re: Barry Trotz will not return as Predators' coach
Trotz likely won't sign in Carolina.
He has his preferred destinations for sure. I've heard some ramblings about a possibly Seattle hiring. Much like he did in Nashville.
Now, obviously none of that is confirmed, but there is more talk about that than the media leads us to believe.
He's got family in Calgary, so if that position ever opens up, I can see him cme out to the flames, but at this point its a guessing game. really
Re: Barry Trotz will not return as Predators' coach
Agree with some of the posters here who acknowledged that Trotz is a very good coach and did very well with what he was given (although some of that is also attributable to Poile, one of the league's very best GMs).
But my respect for Trotz increased that much more after having watched an NHL Network special (or was it HNIC) on his relationship with his teenage son, who has Down's Syndrome. Very touching, and he seems like an A-1 father. No wonder he's so respected by his players.

Re: Barry Trotz will not return as Predators' coach
Maybe, and most likely, Trotz coaches a system based on his players.
If he went to Vancouver or anywhere else really, I'd love to see him add some offensive in his structure. If he could do this without sacrificing much D it could be a pretty dangerous recipe.

Re: Barry Trotz will not return as Predators' coach
They'd be better off staying with Trotz!

Completely agree, if that is the direction they choose to go.

Re: Barry Trotz will not return as Predators' coach
Do you think this has a big fantasy impact on a guy like Rinne? I'm currently trying to figure out who to keep between MA Fleury and Rinne. This news makes me more hesitant to keep Rinne if they're going to undergo a big change to their system.

Re: Barry Trotz will not return as Predators' coach
when trotz started with the preds, seth jones was 2 years old... That's nuts!
I don't think it has an impact on Rinne in the sense of his skillset. He's coached by Mitch Korn who is one of the best.
However, if the new coach has NO defense AT ALL then his numbers may sway a bit. But on the other side of the coin, the wins could go up a lot too...
