Baertschi may become a great player like Savard, but if Hartley keeps it up, it won't be with the Flames. I want Baertschi to be a great player for the Calgary Flames, not the Buffalo Sabres of Boston Bruins.
He certainly broke out - what's the difference

It's just amusing to me because your general argument here seems to be that Hartley is bad for developing young players, ruins them, and then you bring up Marc Savard for some reason, who became a superstar with Hartley as his coach. Just not sure what your angle is.
