This fan base can be so disjointed sometimes. Some people cry for meritocracy while others complain that you shouldn't hold back young players even though they haven't earned anything yet. There is just no pleasing everyone I guess.
Baertschi has not earned anything yet. I can see the argument for choosing to continue his development in the NHL instead of the AHL, but it is not holding him back as much as it would be forcing him forward to sink or swim.
