Yes, because they would have decided that months prior to training camp and their comments on Gaudreau have nothing to do with merely tempering expectations, but are actually hints that it has been predetermined he will not be an NHL player. ####ing really?
Also Baertschi was not the best player in a Flames jersey in his first game (vs. Winnipeg) he didn't crack the scoreboard, in fact reviews were largely mixed if I recall correctly. He had a couple nice shifts but was far from the best player on the ice. JG was our best player against Vancouver, and almost instantly made guys around him better. Mind you, it was a meaningless game and the last game on the schedule, but he was easily the most dangerous player in our silks.
But yeah, I'm not sure you know what you're talking about, at all. Try again.
