Baertschi has not proven he is elite level talent.
Ritchie is more highly touted than Baertschi was in his draft year, and he has "size", which our management is placing a premium on. With Gaundreau already in the system, it's very likely management could see one of Baertschi or Gaudreau as expendable in the name of increasing size at the position.
I'm not a guy who wants to see Sven dealt, but I could understand why if Ritchie was the end game.
