He had better show up and have a ton of jump. I think Baertschi has fallen on the organizational depth chart and is now behind players like Gaudreau, Granlund, and possibly even Ferland. If the Flames end up having to draft a big LW this spring, it may get even uglier for Baertschi. I think he controls his own destiny, but he has to come to camp next year and outperform the other young players on the left side.

I think he'll be around come September. Probably 90% certainty. The only way he isn't there is if Burke has someone pull a Colorado and make him an offer he can't refuse. Whether Baertschi is around come next Christmas is another story. Baertschi needs to knock some socks off next camp. He doesn't look like one of the best players on the team come next fall and I think Burke moves him to improve the team immediately.
