He's been grossly mismanaged by a coach with a reputation for being hard on young players in a season where the Flames are currently dead last in the whole conference.
Sure, it's a top down organizational problem, but unless Hartley has a mic in his ear from King telling him what line Combos to throw out, he's responsible for mismanaging one of 3 promising young players in the organization.
Amazing how the Flames started the season middle of the road in average age and are now the oldest team in the league again?

I agree with you that Baertschi was handled very poorly by coaches and management, but talking to the media about this has no influence on that situation.
