From the Canucks board. Hands up if any of this sounds familiar

He's not exactly a lightweight at 190 lbs but I feel another 5-10 lbs would make all the difference to his ability to fight for the right to use his skill. If he has any sense he will get a good trainer in the off season and ramp up his muscle strength.

Willie didn't use him right and barely played him. Hopefully he gets a more fair shot next year.

Baertschi was picked up because he is a skill guy and he was a bargain. He needs some development and will get some more in Utica (they're still playing) and has a better chance at developing with the Canucks starting at the beginning of the season when the playing is easier. It was a calculated risk on Bennings part and needs some time and a good summers training. I think he'll be fine by Christmas.
