That's correct, he's a very good prospect who will likely turn into a good NHL player.
Not a fan, and of course it had to be the Canucks. This is certainly one that I see burning us in the years to come (hopefully it'll be moot if our rebuild keeps progressing at this rate.
I don't want to pretend to know the inner workings of the organization, but certainly as a fan something has always seemed a little off with the handling of Baertchi.
It was like he came in, showed how good he could be with that crazy tear in the NHL in first season, then it's like management just wanted to bring him back down to earth for the sake of it as part of his progression, and he never really recovered.
I hate Vancouver, but I genuinely hope he works out there, he seemed like a good kid who got lost in a bad situation. Wouldn't be surprised to see him playing well in their top 6 in the next couple of years.
