I would much rather Baertschi be a big part of a WHL Championship and Memorial Cup than a bit part on a probable short run in the AHL.

The "bit part" I'll agree with you on, but to say the Heat will have a short run is slightly premature. They're healthier than they've ever been and have no regular players missing because of call-ups. They're just clicking right now as they are going into the playoffs with a 8-0-1 record in their last 9.
But I completely agree with you about Baertschi's "part" in Portland vs. Abbotsford. Say Baertschi and Winterhawks are eliminated, will Ward play Baertschi in the playoffs or will he stick with the "regulars" that got them to this point? Tough to say. But it would be nice to see Baertschi gain extra experience in WHL finals and potentially the Memorial Cup.
Hoping Baertschi's team loses is a bit ridiculous.
