There is just no way this happens.
The Flames have invested a lot in Baertschi and they expect a lot out of him. He could easily just be left to his own devices and have zero accountability placed on him, but that would not be beneficial for the Flames or Sven long term.
Brian Burke, Jay Feaster, and Hartley all want Baertschi to become a solid 3 zone player. It's obvious he is skilled, and talented, but they need to instil the right mentality with young players on this team. It is a lot easier to teach a 21 year old, who is still learning the NHL game, something, than a 29 year old who has played in the NHL for 8 years.
Personally this is exactly what I like to see with the coaching staff.
