As soon as Baertschi figures out that he can go home to the Swiss league, be a superstar and make 6 figures while keeping all his teeth, he's gone. That'll occur as soon as he winds up in the minors next fall.
Just like Tim Ramholt.
Frankly, that's the risk of drafting Swiss players. They are from a first world country that has a really high paying professional league. Why ride the bus in the AHL in a foreign land burning hundreds of thousands each year if you don't have to?
