It was a good time to move on from him. Caps need a coach who can develop youth and live with their mistakes rather than benching Nate Schmidt for Brooks Orpik or all those times he benched Jakub Vrana for some dumb reason.

Trotz is a very good not great coach who’s had one great playoff run in his very long career.

I love him forever. I’m happy we’re seeing what Reirden can do.
