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.

Well, if Portland is eliminated, you can be SURE that if Sven goes to Abbotsford, he will play and play a lot. They are the Flames development team and he is by far the best prospect they have.

It is about development.
