I didn't like the signing because of how deep our forward prospect depth is, and when you look at a quote like that from Baerstchi, there are two sides of the coin in the situation of "creating adversity" and hoping someone breaks through it.
Does playing in the AHL make Baertschi better? I seriously doubt it. Jooris maybe? I dunno, tough decisions, but force signing some slug like Setoguchi causes tougher decisions than necessary.
The Flames also need to realize that fans don't want to watch the vets. Nobody really cares about them.
Don't agree with the Setoguchi over Jooris or Baerstchi. At all. Regardless of "evaluations all season"... because I bet that's not how the rookies view it. They view it that they have been cut. Because they have been cut.

Even boosting salaries doesn't make sense - Baertschi for example would make more than Setoguchi
