People calling out Burke/Feaster on their stance and statements regarding Baertchi -> Please see Nazim Kadri's time as a leaf, and please pay special attention to how well Kadri's has developed. Kid looks like a legit player, with star potential.
Burke's Management style was honestly harsh with the kid, and that didn't stop him from becoming what he is. Add that to the fact that he did that in a place like Toronto where the media, etc, is much worse than Calgary.
Baertchi does have too much optimism/pressure on him. He needs to work thru this. But i have no issue in taking a tough stance with these kids rather than coddling them.
