When the smoke clears on trade deadline day and the Calgary Flames are faced with the possibility of having to summon troops from the farm, Brian Burke isn’t sure Sven Baertschi will be one of them.
That’s because Burke isn’t sure Baertschi is showing enough signs of becoming an NHLer. Yet.
“I wouldn’t say he’s progressed or regressed,” said Burke, whose scathing assessment of the 21-year-old Swiss prospect last fall was followed by a December demotion to the AHL’s Abbotsford Heat hours after GM Jay Feaster was fired.
“His goal totals are disappointing for a player with his skill level, but he’s learning to do things that are vital if he wants to play here in terms of playing all three zones and for 60 minutes. He’s made dramatic improvement. His offensive production has not kept pace with what we had hoped for. But you might well see him.”
