[Recall] Sven Baertschi Recalled by Vancouver

Great call up. You can bet that Baertschi is going to add a ton of youthful adrenaline and some skill/finish to the Canucks roster. Kenins has hit his wall, so he's not bringing much other than a couple of hits per game, so it's good to have a kid on a roll in the AHL up with the big club.

Daniel -- Hank -- Baertschi (Dank/Hank have gone stale with Burrows, so maybe Baertschi injects some game for the Sedins)

Burrows -- Bonino -- Vrbata

Matthias -- Vey -- Dorsett

Higgins -- Horvat -- Hansen

McMillan -- Kenins

Other option:

2nd line: Daniel -- Hank -- Vrbata (Vrbata or Baertschi...either will should get the Sedins rolling again)

2nd line: Baertschi -- Bonino -- Burrows (lets Sven play his natural LW)

3rd line: Higgins -- Horvat -- Hansen

3rd line: Matthias -- Vey -- Dorsett

Interesting. Don't see him getting put in against Winnipeg, one of the heaviest and hardest-hitting teams in the league. Then it's LA after that.

If he does play, I hope it's with talented players and he's not thrown out for 4th line "energy" minutes. He could be an effective NHLer but needs to play on an offensive line.

Kenins is the only one I see being taken out of the lineup right now. Maybe Vey, but I doubt it.

Plus if it is Kenins, Baertschi can slot in with Horvat
