The article really just makes Baertchi look like an entitled brat. Felt he deserved to play in the NHL, Burke felt otherwise, so he thinks it's time to reject your qualifying offer..
Burke also felt this way about Kadri, but at least Kadri made the most of it. And it's pretty obvious that Kadri has character issues as well, but he dealt with it and is a better all round player because of it.
If Baertchi has success in the NHL, he can thank the Flames for making him learn a complete game.
