Not to belabour the point, but this is who I would consider to be the Flames' "Core 12" forwards from last season:

Backlund
Bouma
Cammalleri
Colborne
Galiardi
Glencross
Hudler
Jones
McGrattan
Monahan
Stajan
Stempniak

In other words, all other things being equal, these are the 12 forwards who would dress for a game.

Last year, these 12 players were all healthy and available for the same game only 5 times over the course of the season. Oddly, of those 5 games, all 12 players didn't dress for any of them. One game, McGrattan was scratched for Jackman; and the other four games saw Galiardi scratched in favour of Byron.

For 54 games last season, at least 2 of those 12 players were unavailable either due to injury, illness, personal reasons, or being traded away.
