New York Islanders hire Barry Trotz as new coach

Barry Trotz, the former Washington Capitals coach who resigned weeks after the team won the 2018 Stanley Cup, has agreed to terms to fill the same position with the New York Islanders, according to reports.

Pierre LeBrun, an NHL columnist for TSN and The Athletic, reported that the deal will play Trotz more than $4 million per year.
