So we're not quite at the 'Baertschi-Impasse' where he has to make the team or face the waiver-wire...
It's really tough to say what his true value is, but it's going to be high-risk, high-reward.
There's no denying he's a great prospect. He's always reminded me of a young Tanguay... lots of skill but not a whole lot of drive. I'm sure there's more to his game than that, but we've had enough floating skill players over the years. We need more guys like Bennett & Ferland who combine tenacity and skill.
I could see him going to the Nucks or Avs.
