This seems to me like a guy who belongs in the NHL somewhere in terms of overall talent, but his coach or GM (or both) doesn't want him on the team, for whatever reason.
* cap hit. Financially, Schaller cannot be swapped for Baestchie, as the Canucks are at the ceiling.
* Schaller can play thought the bottom 6/9. Baertschi is best top 6. Different types of wingers.
