The kid can play. Give him some faith, restore some confidence, and let him play in the NHL. It isn't like you are gifting him the spot. He worked hard in the off season and played his but off in the preseason.

They want him to go Adirondack like a professional and play the game like he's capable of. There was a spot for him, and he was very clearly beat out for that spot by Johnny Gaudreau. The competition is great for the team.
If Baertschi goes down and plays well he'll get called up sooner rather than later. He's still young, and this route is take with players his age all over the league. In no way is this the injustice you're making it out to be and you've gone from voicing an opinion about it to outright whining.
