Sven, do you think you could have got your confidence ever in Calgary?
“At times, the expectations, didn’t seem I could reach them.”
What kind of expectations?
“What I thought, there were things they wanted me to do, they wanted me to play a different game than what I’ve played before, which is why I was drafted high.
“It gets tougher to get your game back on track. When you can’t reach those expectations, as a player, you might lose some confidence.
“It wasn’t a good fit for a lot of reasons.”
Hartley, Burke are good places to start.


We have young guys like Monahan, Gaudreau, Jooris, Grandlund, Brodie, Bouma, and Ferland working their tales off to be in the line up every night. And then you have Baertschi complaining that expectations were too high and the style of game the Flames played didn't work for him. I'm glad he is gone from the Flames organization.

Not sure you needed to say he sounds like a spoiled brat, but your last paragraph is bang on.
