Okay, Hartley defenders. According to Coach Bob, this has zippo to do with Sven's development. Please explain to me again what Jackman, McGrattan and Bouma are bringing to the table every game and helping the Flames win some games. His words not mine.

That has everything to do with development. Hartley wants to see improvement and wants to show him where he needs to improve. That is what player development is.
If Baertschi isn't taking the necessary steps to improve (like dogging it in practice, or not taking the advice in games and scrimamages), then he is right to use a whip instead of a carrot.
