Not sure what the heck you're talking about (as usual.) Baertschi is losing a year off his contract if he played in the AHL or the NHL.
When people talking about burning a year off a player's deal they are talking about 18 or 19 year olds playing junior and whether they should stay in the NHL and use up a year of their entry level deal or not. Once they are 20 and playing pro hockey they have to use up a year of their deal so it is completely irrelevant to the discussion.
What's unfortunate is that he caught a rut in the ice. Burning years off his contract has absolutely nothing to do with anything here.
Once again you flout your ignorance.
