Teams asking Predators about Trotz

Former Nashville Predators coach Barry Trotz gave The Tennessean an update on his coaching job search status.

“It’s mostly noise right now, but David (Poile) has reached out and said that there has been some teams just asking about me. I don’t know those specifics,” Trotz said. “I have not done any interviews and I didn’t expect to do any until the middle of May. It’s always about a month before the draft.”

In the meantime, he's keeping an eye on the playoffs from a bench boss's perspective.

“You make mental notes,” he said. “You’re a coach, so you make mental notes from matchups, to who steps up in the playoffs to who doesn’t, different types of players.”
