Anyone else annoyed by this? Vancouver has a worse track record recently of developing prospects, so I'm not sure how their 'system' of developing players is going to be better than ours.

Nah, not annoyed at all. That's part and parcel with moves like this. Even if the Flames are as good at developing as we hope, some guys will still fall through the cracks or be mismanaged. A player who was drafted by another management group like Baertschi is a prime candidate for this.
Maybe the Flames did throw his development off track, I have no idea, I know his pouting didn't help and maybe the Canucks can get him back on. We'll see how it shakes out, I'm not rooting against him.
