#Isles News: The New York Islanders announced today that Doug Houda and Brian Wiseman have been named Assistant Coaches.

— New York Islanders (@NYIslanders) July 5, 2022

---

Doug Houda played here. Still believe they need a third coach to replace Lambert. Brad Shaw was hired to re-unite with John Tortorella which is an excellent choice.

---

Houda has a long record as assistant coach in Boston/Detroit. Wiseman has three years in Edmonton/long college experience.

---

NY draft picks: 1st/2nd (lost their own in Ladd trade/gained Colorado's pick in Toews trade) Devils have a later pick, Sens have 7th in Coburn trade. Draft is Thursday/Friday morning, not usual Friday-Sat.

Trotz Taking Season Off-Talks New York/Lamoriello

Trotz full interview.

#NYI #isles Let's call a spade a spade. Trotz was fired. He did not interview with other teams because he wanted a year off. He likely decided that ultimately but he was not given an indefinite leave of absence here which was an option for the final year of his contract.
