Baerstchi had a bad attitude to begin with. Case in point:
1) Bitching about having to attend development camp cause he thought he was too good for it;
2) Cross checking Tim Harrison in the face after Harrison hit him hard in a development camp scrimmage. You are one of the leaders and top prospects at a development camp, act like a leader instead of a petty sniveling little bitch.
There were signs of trouble with Sven before Burke answered a simple question.
So sick of this constant rehashing and blaming of Flames management's handling of a prospect with character flaws.
The Canucks coddled him after they acquired him, has he turned into a star yet? I'm not sure they even keep him for next season. Wouldn't surprise me if they were trying to trade him right now.
