Baertschi had a much better game tonight. Glad to see. Love the way this kid plays... He has that rare skill where he can put the puck on any teammate's stick at any moment. I've seen it so many times where he surprises his own teammates who were not expecting to get the puck from him. He sets up lots of guys but few of them are able to cash in... He needs to play with players who excel at putting the puck in the net more than anything. Cammalleri is the closest we have to that kind of player right now but I think Monahan could be that guy one day. Makes me wish in some ways the flames could have gotten Ty Rattie in the jaybow trade cause he and baertschi had awesome chemistry in junior and Rattie is that guy who is a pure sniper... But it would have meant no 1st round pick and therefore, no poirier... So maybe it's for the best.
