Nashville Predators general manager and former Stanley Cup-winning head coach Barry Trotz will reportedly announce his retirement on Monday.
The decision, which ESPN reported is not health-related, is expected to be announced at a 1 p.m. ET news conference.
Trotz, 63, took over from longtime Predators GM David Poile in July 2023 and will stay on until a successor is found, per ESPN.
Nashville spent $100 million in free agency in the summer of 2024, signing Stanley Cup winners Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault and defenseman Brady Skjei, but the following season was a massive disappointment, with the Predators finishing well out of playoff contention with 52 losses in 82 games.
Nashville enters Monday at 25-23-6 and four points out of a wild-card spot in the Western Conference.
Trotz previously served as head coach of the Predators from their inception in 1998 through 2014. He also coached the Washington Capitals (2014-18) and New York Islanders (2018-22). He led the Capitals to the 2018 Stanley Cup and ranks fifth all-time in the league in both games (1,812) and wins (914).
