Don't even try to bring it up in a post, you will get crapped on for even having the temerity to bring it up.

The persecution complex is so thick with these sorts of posts. It's not "refusing to believe the Flames may have made a mistake with Sven." It is refusing to jump to conclusions without further additional evidence that this is indeed the case.
Furthermore, it is one thing to suggest that Baertschi's offensive potential remains high, and quite another to conclude from this that trading him was in fact a mistake on the Flames' part. Given the circumstances, it seems entirely possible that the decision to trade him and the return they received was the
right decision regardless of Baertschi's success or failure in meeting high expectations.
