Former Nashville Predators head coach Barry Trotz is a Nashville homeowner again.
Trotz and his wife Kimberly paid $1.5 million ($672 per square foot) for the 12South-area home, according to a Davidson County Register of Deeds document.
Located in Melrose at 906 Knox Ave., the three-bedroom, three-bath single-family house sold for $235,000 more than the asking price, marketing materials note. The 2,232-square foot residence, which is within walking distance of Sevier Park and the 12South commercial district, underwent a complete renovation in 2020.
Complete with nine-foot ceilings, the dwelling features a 280-square-foot kitchen, a 204-square-foot dining room, a laundry room, a basement, a screened-in porch, two garage spaces, an office that could be used as a bedroom and a detached one-bedroom guest house.
The sellers were husband and wife Daniel and Holly Tilden, who paid $320,000 for the property in 2013. The couple listed the home on June 2 and the sale was completed seven days later.
Trotz has been linked to the Predators in a management/advisory role should he decide he no longer wants to coach. He’s a reported frontrunner for several head coaching vacancies, including the Philadelphia Flyers and Winnipeg Jets.
“From what I understand, Barry Trotz has let it be known to teams that he’s not in a hurry to make his choice,” Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported. “He won’t make his decision until he’s sure it’s right for himself and his family.”
Trotz was the first head coach in Predators history, guiding the team to a 557-479-60-100 record in 15 seasons with seven playoff appearances and four 100-point seasons. He parted ways with the franchise following the 2013-14 season, with the Predators hiring Peter Laviolette to succeed him.
After leaving Nashville, Trotz spent four years with the Washington Capitals from 2014-18, posting a 205-89-34 record with four playoff appearances and a Stanley Cup championship. He then coached the New York Islanders from 2018-22, leading them to a 152-102-34 record with three playoff appearances in four seasons.
