I know allot of people are going to scorch me for this but I fail to see the reason why nobody questions his ability to play in the nhl. Every game i watch with him in the lineup(all of them) I find myself screaming at the tv because of the stupid stuff the guy does. Personally i'd rather have any of the guys that are fighting for a spot on the team rather than burrows. Everyone's #1 reason they like this guy from what I read on this forum "He's great on the pk. Who cares! Anyone can do this thats fighting for a spot. He can't score and i'm tired of kesler carrying this guy on his back night after night, I'm tired of him losing the puck, falling down everywhere seriously this guy falls down a hundred times a night can't he skate its ridiculous, stupid penalties its endless. "He plays with grit" is another common description tossed out when his name comes up. That ok sure he pisses off guys but fails to do really be able finish that job off by being able to fight because he can't. IMOP he's an embarrassment to the team. Please Gillis let this guy go keep Krog or Pettinger or Brown whoever. let er rip.
1197 people and counting to be exact. You sure came up clutch with this thread.

I still can't believe Burke gave up this guy for a second round pick. He's going to be a part of our top 6 for many years ahead. Steal of the year. Burke is an idiot.

jensen hasn't exactly burned up the ahl....baerschi has lost his confidence, so it may take awhile to get it back..i think they'll take their time with him...benning said that both virtanen and mccann will be given every opportunity to make this team...but they won't rush them...i think as much as the team loves richardson, i think bo, can move up to 3rd line.....i'ld hate to see higgins go...he is so important to this team...matthias is playing so good right now like kassian...can they keep it up? they will move a goalie...defense needs a make over....can bieksa come back and play like the juice?...are we tough enough...can pedan make the big club next year?
He got an assist in his first game with Utica. How has he lost confidence again?

Think about this one...Baertschi can just as easily be a waste of a second round pick...Baertschi can just as easily be a guy who struggles to land a spot on the Canucks roster as a second-line wannabe...and as you say, Baertschi can easily be the first line player. Anything is possible.
What Baertschi is is a high end prospect with a lot of untapped potential and a high ceiling. He obviously failed to live up to expectations of the Flames management, and being moved further down their depth chart precipitated a trade request. For what JB gave up, he got a very good prospect. I hope you're right with your bold prediction.
A 2nd rounder has like a 30% chance of getting to the NHL, this guy is NHL ready next year and even if he doesn't get to top 6 form he still is a NHL player. Every single commentator has said how much of a steal we got. I trust the hockey experts over one Canucks fan on the Internet. Calgary yo-yo'd him back and forth between the AHL and NHL and that's a one way ticket to screwing up a player's development. A young prospect needs consistency to be able to grow and even with all of the turbulence he still put up good points in the NHL for a rookie. Something tells me we're going to look back at this in 5 years as one of the best trades we've made.

Zetterberg and Datsyuk agree with you.
Oh god if we just traded a 2nd round for a future Datsyuk that'd be one of the steals of the decade.

Chronic irrational negativity seems like a Canadian franchise fan disease.
Especially Canucks fans.

Be the GM, pick the best player available and ignore armchair draftists on CDC.
