I'm quite certain Baertschi is a lock for 3rd line LW, with the potential to move up with good play.

I think he is more referring to the fact that Baertschi probably won't make a huge impact on the Flames fortunes until his 2nd or 3rd season, and that is about the time guys like Reinhart, Ferland, Gaudreau, and Granlund arrive on scene... and about the time guys like Bouma, Horak, Nemisz, Ramo, Irving, and Brodie really start to impact the team.

Hopefully Backlund leads the way by becoming an impact player this season.
