The Ducks have made a lot of noise since the end of last season about a brand new system of play that will have them playing a faster, more up-tempo style of play. With that in mind, they haven't dramatically turned over their roster, nor dramatically altered their coaching staff. That is to say, assistant coaches have been moved around, but the head coach remains the same.
