In other words, the same exact thing that every other fanbase has always done and will always do when their player gets traded in any sport...

You must be new, and not a Flames fan. Baertschi had become quite the polarizing prospect over the last couple of seasons. Revisionist history? Feel free to look up as many Baertschi threads as you wish.
Nobody that has frequented these boards in the last couple of years can make the claim that you just did.
