Hey Pierre, do you think Baertschi will start on the first line with the likes of Kolanos/Walter, or even Reinhart? Ideally they'd both get immediate top 6 time for their development (they both should be able to handle it easily). I have little doubt Baertschi gets top 6 time (I would want first line minutes), but I'm not so sure about Reinhart.

I ask because I am concerned about his development. I can't remember any of our prospects that didn't struggle in their transition to the AHL.

I know that we've had few prospects in the past even comparable to Sven, but he's certainly a prospect that we can't screw up. I do have faith in Ward, certainly more than any of the past coaches, to do what's right, but it's difficult to let go of the thought that we are still a poor development team.
