They range from pretty fast, to very fast. I am sure there are more. He seemed to like fast players and acquired quite a few.

I would say the Flames under Sutter's reign were a much faster team than what we have now.

Those Flames teams also had size. This one doesn't.

As long as Ward continues to run this country club "sit back and wait" slow transition style, this team will in all likelihood stay at its current .500 pace for the rest of the season.
