I don't know why, but I'm very surprised that Backlund topped the list. Good surprise.

I'm very impressed with the work Backlund has done last season till now to improve his game. I hope he gets a good contract extension next year

I thought Monahan was apparently one of the most fit players, no?

Since when do McKelvie and Street count as 'Veterans.'
Veterans of what?

Well, they aren't rookies, and they aren't prospects. McKelvie is almost 30.
Seems alright to me.
Nice seeing Backlund at the top, and Baertschi as well.

Surprised about Backlund as well, hopefully he can stay healthy all season. If we can see a successful Backlund-Sven line all season it would set up the Flames nicely for the future.

I would have bet Cammalleri was the fittest. Nice to see Backlund up there. Really hope it is his coming out party this year. Some guys just take a bit longer.
I guess it isn't so surprising that one of the best attitudes on the Flames, ends up being the fittest as well.

Prospects refers to the testing of those players who participated in rookie camp. Veterans refer to players tested prior to the start of main camp.

I was really impressed with Backlund during the preseason. Even though he didn't put up a lot of points, he was flying out there.

Good to see from Backlund. He's worked his ass off the last couple offseasons and this just confirms it. Really hope he has a big year.

Alot of this stuff comes down to genetics. As long as a guy isn't out of shape this stuff doesn't really matter.

Don't be such a Lay down Larry. This gives us something to boost our confidence in certain players, albeit just a little bit. Do you really have to try to take that away?
