People forget Sven's value increased dramatically in the year after he was drafted and even as a 1st year pro. He was considered one of the best prospects in the game heading into this year and while that may have dropped off a bit his value is still very much there.

If you are another GM and look at tape on him this season and have scouted him in Abbotsford I imagine you aren't very impressed. He has value of course but he's not going to fetch a 1st round pick or top prospect unless it's another team's top prospect which has stalled in his development.
I have faith that Burke knows better than selling low so I don't think Baertschi being traded is something Flames fans should be worried about happening any time soon. He's probably going to have to tough it out in Abbotsford for this season and next in hopes he hits his stride over a full season or more in the AHL as it seems like he's not one of those players that deals well with being brought up and sent down.
