The Flames are going to be forced into a bad situation next year with Baertschi. They either keep him up or risk losing him for nothing. At this point the smart move is to trade him in a package for a player in a position we find ourselves short, like RW or RD. Sven may have a NHL future, but it isn't in Calgary and it isn't in the top six.

a lot of people say this, but I don't think he was a 7.... maybe he is now, but he was a pretty damn good prospect a few years ago. Maybe not now but lets not re-write history here...
I think he's more like a 8, surrounded by a bunch of other 8's...... also that guaranteed spot a few years ago seemed to really set him back.
