This is the kind of thinking that has put us in our current predicament.
Part of me says claim Boychuk but the other part says we have a similar player in Horak. What message does that send to the players in Abby? Would have preferred we work out a deal with Carolina sending a contract back. However he would have to play and not sure where he would fit in the lineup if Baertschi is not out long term. Have to rely on the opinion of the pro scouts i suppose.
