Pretty "meh" about the trade and Baertschi in general at this point.

His development appeared to have stalled and he'd fallen pretty fast and pretty far down the depth chart, in favour of many other forwards who are now regulars or are right on the cusp. Factor in at least Bennett joining in that mix next season, along with whoever else might have developed further, and it was only going to get harder for him to crack the lineup.

You also have to wonder how much more developing he could really do with us, given he's been with us a few years now and where he was on the depth chart. Also the rumoured shaky relationship with him and the organization (don't know how much stock I'd put into those but they were there none the less).

Not that dissapointed with a 2nd round pick in a deep draft, considering Baertschi was still a pretty big question mark for us.
