And for the record I don't think Baertschi is a bad kid, or a whiner or even entitled. I don't see the arrogance to be honest. I do see a kid that just doesn't get it, and that fact will sink his career unless

or
b) the light bulb just goes off
As Jiri succinctly summarized from my Gaudreau comment above, his offense isn't on the level that buys a guy time to learn the rest. He has to get rid of the cart and go invest in the horse if he wants to be an NHLer. The horse is the 200 foot game.
Gaudreau was able to go cart and then have the horse come later.
