Ugh. The narrative is getting old.
Baertschi was traded and then immediately dispatched to the Utica Comets. While playing with the Comets he incurred a tonne of criticism from his head coach, Travis Green, for not being hard enough away from the puck, and for his underwhelming competitiveness. He made an appearance in the SC playoffs that year and was completely invisible. It was not until Baertschi made significant changes to his own game—changes that were required by BOTH the Flames AND the Canucks organizations—that he finally started to turn things around.
