For Baertschi's 21 st birthday he was solidly in the Flames starting line-up playing on a Line with Monahan and Hudler.

He basically lost his job because the Flames were still overloaded with small soft players and Colborne was moved to the wing.

There excuse for sending him down was a general complaint that he was not responsibly defensively...

He was a -4.

Somehow that does not seem so bad when compared to Stempniak's -21, (-14 when Baertschi got sent down) Cammalleri's -12 (-12 when sven got sent down, or Monahan's -20 ( Monahan was only -6 when sven got sent down). Colborne ended up -17 ... he was a -4 when he took over Sven's spot on the Monahan/Hudler line.

What are the Flames going to do to get Monahan and Colborne to play the 200 ft game?

With Gaudreau, Raymond, Hudler and Granlund there is not room for Sven on the Flames roster and he needs a change to a team that did not stock pile small guys.

If Baertschi had to clear waivers he would be claimed and be in the NHL for the whole year.

Will Mason Raymond score more goals than Baertschi? or have more upside potential?

Last year the Flames could have had Raymond playing in the opening line-up instead of Baertschi for 1M/yr. and went with Baertschi instead.
