Like how Trotz seems to coach Washington much differently than Nashville for instance.

Easier to do when you have 3-4 elite forwards in the team, but I get what you're saying. I would be wary about Tippett, but again, he's not rearly had a true elite forward, not unless you class Doan from a few years ago as one. Clearly his system doesn't stop defencemen adding points, look at OEL. If Tippett had Gio, Brodie, Hamilton, Gaudreau, Monahan etc, he'd have no choice but to alter his style.
