Is it frustrating enough to pursue other options? Baertschi, who is the final year of his entry level deal, declined to comment.

“It’s a tough question to answer,” he said. “I’ve done as much as I can to have made this team. I feel like I have a great opportunity here. I haven’t put any thought into it.
