I'm happy for Baertschi. He was getting lost in the shuffle here and seemed directionless in the few games he played up here. Yes, he was on a short leash; there was no earned trust.

He'll start in Utica, where some of you might know that Travis Green is the head coach. He was also the head coach for Portland Winterhawks at one point while Baertschi was there. So, if anyone is going to set him straight, it'll be Green.

All in all, I'm fine with the trade. As some said, the writing was on the wall. Good trade for both teams.
