Or am I thinking someone else? He was a fixture in the top 6 but was also brought in to be a defensively responsible part of the top 6. Believed he killed a lot of penalties, was out in the last minute etc. He made a lot of hay getting power play points with the Sedins. Baertschi is a different player (Samuelsson had a better shot, Baertschi has better hands), but I think Samuelsson is a player that Baertschi can look to and see if he can match that efficiency.

I figured he was one of the defensive guys. That's why I was so surprised to see his numbers. Definitely see shades of that in Baer. He's good defensively and good offensively. He won't be the defensive force Samuelsson was but he definitely synergizes well with Petey on the PP, as does most everyone but still. Interesting comparable there.

Wasn't the greatest skater but he always seemed to know where to be on the ice and contributed nicely on offence without being a liability.

Nucker 67 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 It's kind of odd. Baertschi apparently woke up not feeling well in COL, so they sent him back home? They've still got 3 games left on this road trip, must be pretty serious. Or maybe there's a trade in the works? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podzilla Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I don’t see him being in the league too much longer. Seems his concussions have really had an affect on him and he just can’t stay healthy. I hope I’m wrong but I think one more serious injury and he might call it quits. More important things than hockey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Green said his absence was not due to concussion I believe. Not far into this road trip so he must have a longer term issue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-P Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Hopefully Sven is ok. I actually think he’s been playing well since his return and doesn’t look scared out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Lots of secrecy surrounding Baertschi being sent back to Vancouver. If it's the flu, then say it's the flu. But it's not the flu lol I think he got smacked during the COL game and probably felt off after that (re-concussed). Maybe they're being very hush-hush about it, as they intended to make a trade at the TDL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either he recovers and plays for Vancouver or he doesn't play. Canucks would have to reveal his medical details to any team who they traded to anyway. Lets just hope he is ok. He may need to take a year off like Crosby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sickness? I got the impression from hearing Green speak about this that he might be disappointed/frustrated that Baertschi takes himself out of the lineup so easily and doesn't "play through the pain". I got that sense from Green when Baertschi was out with the concussion for so long too. Obviously this is just reading between the lines (and evaluating tone), but he seemed to be saying "it isn't a concussion, it isn't an injury, but Sven still wants to sit out". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 You don’t get sent back to Vancouver if you have the flu. He has another concussion unfortunately... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WeneedLumme Posted February 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2019 Wow, what a bunch of speculative crap. Does anyone really know what is going on with him? Maybe I should start some new speculative crap. He has Ebola. I heard it from my friend's sister's inlaw's hairdresser, so it must be true. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crap or not, their silence on the subject just exaggerates the speculation. For me, there are two logical explanations #1....he has the flu and they don't want to have it spread through the team and #2....there are concussion issues. Denied by the team, but it makes sense and is worrisome. Canucks need to address this issue ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
