He will be 30 at end of deal 4.2 million, especially if he keeps up his pace (on pace for 60 points). I wonder if, for forwards, when they hit 30 - is that considered them entering into their prime years? if so, wouldn't we want to sign up him a little longer? maybe until he's 32? That's usually when players begin to decline, right? Baertschi for me, is a classic player who has blossomed late (or is blossoming late). This season, if he keeps his pace up and stays healthy, seems to be his break out season. But I'm not convinced he's peaked offensively just yet.

I think the future Top 6 (with what we currently have) will be: _______ - Horvat - Boeser Baertschi - Pettersson - Lind Canucks need to improve the #1LW position though (Kane?). Unsure what Dahlen's ceiling would be. I also think they'll cut their ties with Goldobin at some point, after a couple of years waiting for him to learn to play how they want. Same with Subban. They just gave up on Rodin for this reason. Gaunce, Gaudette, Granlund, Lockwood, MacEwen and Gadjovich could fill in the bottom 6. Tough to predict though, as there will be more drafts, more great prospects added, trades, etc. For all we know, Gaudette might be the only one in this list who has a future with the team. (Granlund is the exception, as I hope he remains a regular bottom 6 player) I'd like to see Baer continue with us, for at least another 3 years. By then, we should have a good idea about Dahlen, Pettersson, Lind and Gadjovich. Looking at your lines...I'd put Dahlen on LW in that blank spot. I really am not a fan of having Kane here. He will command too much money for what he brings, and hamstring our efforts at getting all these guys signed. Having put forth the idea of a three year contract, I could easily see $4M yearly for Baer. If he is still playing at a high rate at the end of that...well, we can cross that bridge then. But, having too many good players, is not a bad event to have happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Baertschi's goal tonight put him into a nice round #100 in all time Canuck scoring. 99. Dan Quinn C 101 34 49 83 100.

Darius Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Sven is quietly having an excellent start to the season. Brock and Pettersson are in the lime light right now, but 14 points in his last 15 games is not too shabby. I wonder if Calgary could use this guy back :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 One thing SB has really improved upon since being benched last year is his defensive awareness, I feel now its a very underrated part of his game. Hopefully the coaching staff can do the same for Virtanen and Goldobin as they did with SB and make them more complete all around players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season, if he keeps his pace up and stays healthy, seems to be his break out season. But I'm not convinced he's peaked offensively just yet. I don't think so anymore. It used to be that the prime years for the forwards were from 25/26/27 to say 32. But with the NHL getting younger and younger, you have to be a special player to be playing at a high level after you reach 30 (e.g., Sedins, Thornton, etc). I think the deal you suggested is fair. He will be 30 and if he is not showing signs of slowing down, then he has another chance to get a big contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Baertschi's assist for going to the net puts him into 99th in all time Canuck scoring. 98. Steve Tambellini LW 161 42 45 87 99.

NexusRift Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 What exactly is Baer to our team? I'm still trying to figure that out. It seems to me that he's only as good as the players around him. I like that he charges for the net and gets shots. But I don't think he's a game breaker kinda' guy. Or is he..............hmmmmmmmmm........

The canucks are a product of players lile bo and brock. Baertschi is a product of the canucks. If that makes any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoots well but does not possess a heaviness in his shot nor the exceptional accuracy. Passes and sees the play well but not at an elite level, like the Sedins. Overall a very good player with very few flaws. A player that can definitely help the team as a 2LW or 1LW when playing with superior players.

IMO, he's here until one of Goldobin/Dahlen takes his spot. Hopefully we get/package him for a nice return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Buzzsaw* Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 It's a shame Sven gets his likely career season cut off in the middle... what can you say? He was a quiet but important contributor to the success the team had to this point. Get well soon Bear-Cheese!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
