Makes sense. Baertschi in the AHL is the best path for him.

Time for Ferland or Hanowski maybe?

I hope Sven finds his game again with the Heat. He's been taking a lot of flack so this might be good for him going forward.

Should have happened a long time ago. This is the best thing for Sven.

Probably the best place for him, not overly surprising.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him stay down there for a while too.

Needs to learn to compete in all three zones. Might as well do it in the Ahl.

And to pre-empt any of the inevitable moaning, look no further than a player like Gustav Nyquist to understand why this is the best move.

As soon as Burke said he was giving Hartley permission to use players how he wanted, including sending guys down if he thought they needed it, I knew this move was coming. I think it's probably for the best at this point, as long as it's not a prelude to trading him. He's shown flashes of being ready, but the consistency from shift to shift isn't there yet.

Long overdue. He should have been sent down in the start of November rather then having this drag on and on.

The Heat are the #1 team in the AHL, they have a strong room and a strong group of guys. The best place for his development and to give him a kick in the right direction is the Heat.

My guess is some players returning from injury.
