Baertschi is a sweetener. I think a veteran forward, Baertschi and another prospect should be enough grab one of Arizona's young blueliners. Time to use some of that prospect depth to our advantage.
On Baertschi's riding the pine, the kid will get what he deserves. He's supposed to make things happen in the offensive zone and be aware of his defensive coverage. He hasn't shown the ability to do either in his call up. I was hoping he would be flying out there and show a ton of enthusiasm, getting an opportunity like this, when so many said it was undeserved. He's stood out as not keeping up or paying attention to his assignments, which is just the opposite of what the team was hoping. Opportunity only knocks so many times. Baerstchi should get off the ####ter and answer the door, and damn quick. There too many youngsters in the Flames system that are looking like NHL caliber players.
