He's still only 27 and can still turn his career around. He's got size, speed and has some skill too. It's up to him but judging him the pre-season makes ZERO sense.

It's this type of over the top argument that fuels the debate in a negative way. I don't like his lack of work ethic. I don't like his irresponsible decisions like blind passes at the blue line. I think in many ways he is the player the Flames are desperately trying to keep Baertschi from turning into. I don't care if he make minimum wage or not, I don't want him on the ice if that is how he is going to play.
So far in preseason he is showing us he is the same player that fans learned to dislike in Winnipeg. There is a reason he cycles from team to team and was forced to sign a 1 year near minimum wage contract.
Try the arrogant "haters going to hate" line if he actually accomplishes something. Because so far he is proving the "haters" right.
