A lot of people were in denial about a lot of stuff when it came to Baertschi. A lot of those people are still in denial. Baertschi was an immature self-entitled player who thought his talent was enough to play in the NHL. The reality is he isn't that skilled and he is too small to play the way that made him successful in junior. He needs more size, speed, and courage to be a NHL player. The kid just doesn't want to hear that or make the commitment required.
