He had 30 pts in 41 games as a rookie pro playing in the souped up due to the lock out AHL. In that same period Baertschi got 26 pts in 36 games solidifying him as the Flames clear cut #1 pro prospect.
Had he been a Flames property from the get go there would be no argument about him being ready for a shot with the big club.
On top for that he has size and had sufficient grit as a 21 year old not to be labelled a soft player by the RGI.
