After having a night to sleep on it, i'm actually happy he went to the Canucks.
He wanted out, because of the way he was handled, so we can't blame Treliving for getting what he could. Baertschi wasn't going to succeed here, if he ever has a chance at succeeding it would be with the Canucks. They are weak in LW depth, and play more of Baertschi's style.
If he doesn't succeed on the Canucks, then he never would have succeeded anywhere IMO, at least now we'll find out.
I was more infatuated with his potential, not the player, that potential wasn't panning out here. Does seem like a good kid though (felt bad for changing jersey numbers for the fans that bought his jersey, etc).
