Bob doesnt seem to have this problem with all the other flames prospects. He also didnt have this problem in Colorado when he had soft small skill prospects like Tanguay and Hejduk. Not did he have this problem with Marc Savard in Atlanta and this was all when he was an even harder was to deal with apparently.
May be the only person to blame here is Sven.

Sven's father enjoyed running to the Swiss tabloids to tell the world how his son deserved everything on a silver platter. One has to believe that the same messages were being planted in Sven's ear too. Having such negative influences around doesn't help Baertschi, and likely helped undermine the Flames' attempts at working wtih him.
We'll see if Vancouver can manage the issue of dad's ego better than we could. Vancouver apparently had the same issue with Cody Hodgson, and that didn't end well for them either.
