How longterm can this be for Bowness?
And if it doesn’t work, is the GM next?
I’m curious if Trotz and Winnipeg left the door
ajar, so it’s possible Trotz could take over in a season
or two. He sounded very serious about seizing this time for family
and things he’d put off with the obsessive demands of coaching.
But it didn’t sound like he was done for good.

WINNIPEG, July 3, 2022 - The Jets announced today that Rick Bowness has been appointed as the eighth head coach in franchise history and the third since the club’s relocation to Winnipeg.
Bowness, 67, most recently served as head coach of the Dallas Stars from Dec. 10/19 until the end of the 2021-22 season. The Moncton, N.B. native led the Stars to an 89-62-25 record in 176 regular season games. Under Bowness’ leadership, Dallas also went 18-16 in the playoffs, highlighted by a trip to the 2020 Stanley Cup Final. Dallas earned postseason series wins in 2020 over Calgary (4-2), Colorado (4-3), and Vegas (4-2) before falling in six games to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
