Yeah it was pretty widely spoken about that he was done there.
IIRC after the first round against Columbus there was lip readers saying that Trotz told Tortarella in the handshake line "I'm Done Here".
It was pretty clear that he was moving on from Washington. I do think it was very likely he was going to the NYI the entire time though, guessing him and Lou had a wink wink nudge nudge think going on.
