The Islanders may not be in the playoffs, but they pulled out the first stunner of Stanley Cup playoff season.On May 9, the that they were parting ways with coach Barry Trotz, marking the third head coaching vacancy to open up this offseason, with more potentially to come.The move was met with criticism and Andrew Knizner Jersey  confusion acro s the board, and with good reason. Trotz has Dakota Hudson Jersey  helped restore the Islanders in the years since his hiring, resulting in three playoff appearances and a 152-102-34 record overall with the team.MORE:The Isles got off to a poor start in 2021-22, largely due to COVID i sues and availability of players, ultimately leading to a 5-10-5 record through the team's first 20 games. Ken Boyer Jersey  Some have credited Trotz for overcoming a poor roster to push the Islanders into contention.The team started to right the ship in the second half of the year, but apparently it wasn't enough to keep the Stanley Cup-winning coach around.Why did the Islanders fire Barry Trotz?Speaking with reporters on Monday morning, Islanders GM Lou Lamoriello said the team needed a "new voice" in the building, but declined to discu s specifics surrounding Trotz's removal."I' Dexter Fowler Jersey d rather not get into any of the reasons, because that's my job upon the information that I have, and the experience to make these types of decision," Lamoriello said.Lamoriello isn't offering much of an explanation outside of a "new voice": Marcell Ozuna Jersey  "I'd rather not get into any of the reasons because that's my job upon the information that I have and I experience to make these types of decisions."  Joe Pantorno (@JoePantorno) Lamoriello: "I believe this group of players needs a new voice," although would "rather not get into any of the reasons."

TSN's  Adam Wainwright Jersey Darren Dreger reports that Trotz may want a front-office role. It's unclear whether or not that would be in addition to a coaching role, as well.Clubs with coaching vacancies or considering a change will have Trotz high on their radar. However, some believe Trotz also has interest in jumping into a management role. What is certain is that he will have options to be considered.  Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger Mike Matheny Jersey ) One thing is certain: Trotz shouldn't be unemployed for very long. Some reports have connected Trotz to the open Winnipeg Jets job, which would make sense for the Manitoba native.
