I'm not sure about that.
I think penalties are an individual thing.
A lot of them comes from either being too lazy, too agressive, or just too slow (a combination in some cases). Some players are just the way they are when it comes to penalties, and I don't think a new Coach will change that.
That's expecially the case with Wade Belak, Bryan McCabe, Nik Antropov, and arguably Mats Sundin to a lesser extent (for example). That's the way they've always been.
It's a matter of which players are worth the trouble that comes along with them, and which players aren't.
