Been to most of their games.
-Bean: puck-moving defender. Good decision-making, good skater but sometimes gets caught out of position. Consistent and took a big step forward when Travis Sanheim was out.
-Stallard: not a huge guy, but good foot-speed and has a knack for being in the right spot. Doesn't win battles by out-muscling, but by out-positioning.
-Twarynski: lacks high-end skill, but has NHL size and battles hard. Arguably Calgary's most consistent player.
-Stukel: great shot and good release. Not a huge guy, but very smart and strategic. If you put him with somebody that can get him the puck, he can produce.
-Malenstyn: hustles and battles hard and has good size, but lacks Twarynski's consistency and has arguably less offensive skill.
