I was hoping it meant he's been secretly negotiating with Dubas.

With our luck Boston will go over the moon for him and he'll be in Atlantic. Or Detroit...
I think everything boils into that family situation. His mother died and father lives in Winnipeg. Coaching there might have solved the problem, but maybe he prioritized family over paycheque at this point.

No idea of his family situation.
He could come here and his father could go feed the ducks with Fletcher for company.

Im starting to wonder that his idiotic comments against us weren't any tactic rather than him being ass when his worried they might to lose.
Though I think his trying to take pressure of from his players but at the same time he looks like complete idiot...

You'd think that Trotz could take care of his father anywhere, but it's one thing to move him on the otherside of the continent after losing he lost his spouse at old age. Then being away working at same time.
Life can be complex. Don't know if I could move my father in same situation.

Forsberg talks..... will be interesting to follow. Similarities to what Shanahan said but a little less direct. Seems to be the approach GM's are taking now, want to win vs maximum pay day.
"We're trying to run the franchise correctly and [offer] what we think is the appropriate [contract] number, not only as a player for him, but it also gets into what we need to be able to put a good team together -- which is Filip's team. If we're offering him an eight-year contract, it's Filip's team for the next eight years. He has to hopefully have a little buy-in to understanding that."
Poile left open the possibility that Forsberg could "take a peek at free agency," while still returning to Nashville. He compared the situation to that of Colorado's Gabriel Landeskog, who signed an eight-year contract on July 27, 2021, the day before the start of free agency last season.
Though signing Forsberg is the Predators' first priority, Poile said other plans have to be formulated in case it does not happen.
"We're taking a position where we feel we're offering the right thing," he said. "They're taking a position where they think it should be more than that. I'm trying to weigh the balances of what I pay to each individual player vs. my total team cap and what other things we need to do to have a good team going forward.
"So they're not wrong, and with all due respect I'm not wrong. Something's got to give in the next couple of weeks for Filip to sign."

With Trotz turning down the Jets, the only teams (to my knowledge) left are without a coach are:
NYI (no)
Boston (Bergeron coming back )
Detroit

They should be looking for their 5th but that Detroit team
Compher has been money
Very misleading. Two of the 4 games went into OT

2 of the 4 games going to OT is misleading that it's been close imo.
Avs have a good 20 minutes of o-zone possession time on the Bolts and the shots and rush chances aren't even close. Tampa has definitely been overwhelmed.

After looking like Cam Neely against the Leafs, Nick Paul, has looked like Nick Paul

Yeah, too bad he refused to play for half of the post season games in Toronto.
