The writing was on the wall for quite some time now. I don't understand how this move comes as such a huge shock to a number of fans.

It's very clear Burke was not a huge fan of Baertschi's... And on the flip side, it's pretty obvious Sven wasn't happy with his treatment by the Flames organization. He hasn't earned top 6 minutes with the big club and he doesn't play the style of game that is conducive to a bottom six role.

If he flat out told the Flames he would not be re-signing which is what they were reporting on the fan960 earlier or he requested a trade, Treliving absolutely made the best decision.

I for one am thrilled with the fact we are entering the draft with six picks in the first 90 of a supposed deep draft. We are in year two of a rebuild and need to stay the course, especially now that we've lost our captain and best player for the remainder of the season.
