    Not necessarily. I'd also prefer a fresh face compared to a recycled hire, but that doesn't mean this particular fresh face is a perfect choice. Lots of fresh faces are also terrible lol.

    It's good to see a guy get a shot when he's paid his dues working his way to the top level.

    Do I know if he'll succeed? Nope, none of us do. But at least he's not a retread failure getting yet another shot.

    Yeah it’s definitely nice to see a fresh face there. It’s just that there are plenty of assistant coaches and AHL coaches who have had their names thrown around. This was literally the first time I’ve heard of this guy.

    I hope it works out for the Ducks, they have some good young players and it would be nice to see them get back to relevance
    Without me, it's only "aweso".
