I don't think it's primary. I think they are being coached to take what's given. Book on the Flames has been clog up the neutral zone, they'll turn it over at low pace. The cure for that is a dump and hard chase, so that's getting a lot of looks right now. As teams adapt defensively to that, we'll see another seeming change of style/attempt. This is what wasn't happening much (that I could see) under Ward.
