Ya, I agree. Baertschi was pretty low when they sent him down before though. Sounds like he battles confidence issues frequently. In the long run, it might be best though - let him be "the guy" in Abbotsford for an extended period. Once the Flames trade out some of their top 9 forwards - ie. Stempniak, Stajan, Cammellari, Glencross - then there will be a spot for Sven to return to.
