Thanks again for Rasmus hope you are still enjoying Baertschi!

Rude.
Also, I did enjoy Baertschi.
He was a great filler who showed flashes of finally figuring out the NHL but couldn't stay healthy when he'd finally figured it out. I regret that concussions have probably ended his NHL career. But he went down to Utica and has apparently been exemplary in demonstrating to young players what is required to play in the NHL. Perhaps that style of leadership at this level is why the Canucks have a great farm system currently while the Flames are usually rated in the lower third... Maybe.
