Gaudette Celly Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Hopefully Benning can play Baertschi in some NHL games or atleast give him some confidence for him to re-sign. He was ecstatic when he heard he'd been traded to Vancouver, and he's already played 60+ NHL games. Best for him to spend the rest of the season with Travis and be a key contributor to their playoff run, then come into camp strong next year ready to make the big club.

Derp... Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 If he can keep a pace over PPG with the Comets expectations will be really high for camp next year, but honestly I think he can do it. The way he plays just helps generate offense all over the ice. I actually want to see him play with Jensen at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.53 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Travis Green is a great coach. I feel real comfortable with him putting on the final touches for Baertschi. Watch for Baertschi to be a major presence next year. I don't know if he's calder eligible, but he his odds could be legitimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch for Baertschi to be a major presence next year. I don't know if he's calder eligible, but he his odds could be legitimate. To be eligible for the award, a player cannot have played any more than 25 games previously in any single season, nor have played in more than six games in each of two separate preceding seasons in any major professional league. Sven has broken BOTH of those barriers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Anyone see him as a fit with Horvat? Both above average passers and shooters with good speed. Maybe keep Hansen on the other wing or put Jensen there if he really picks his game up. Or if we are really lucky than Virtanen? Sedin Sedin Burrows Vey Bonino Vrbata Baertshi Horvat Virtanen Dorsett Richi Hansen Kenins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedin Sedin Burrows Vey Bonino Vrbata Baertshi Horvat Virtanen Dorsett Richi Hansen Kenins that's a whole lot of speed skill and youth on one line. virtanen and horvat also both offer a physical side to their game (virtanen more so than horvat) i think it would take a couple of years before we'd see that combo though. they all need more experience before you toss them together.

Sedin Sedin Burrows Vey Bonino Vrbata Baertshi Horvat Virtanen Dorsett Richi Hansen Kenins Yep. I think Horvat will work great with a skilled puck handler and passer. I can see that line working great with a good board guy/grinder on the other wing to cycle and dig pucks out. Hansen or Burrows. In the future I see Gaunce fitting well. Another smart guy who can dig pucks out and get it to Baertschi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webster6 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Im thinking more like he'll play in game 7 of the SCF and plays with horvat and kenins with the line combining for 9 points This Horvat agrees with Horvat... trippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedin Sedin Burrows Vey Bonino Vrbata Baertshi Horvat Virtanen Dorsett Richi Hansen Kenins No Matthias? I think Beartschi is alot faster than Horvat but that seems to actually bring up Horvat's skating when he's playing with faster players (Hansen, Kenins). I'd be OK with this lineup except i really do belive right now that Virtanen will be back in junior. Matthias surely should be signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think Virtanen will be back in Junior now that we have Baer and Kenins pushing for roster spots next year. The problem with Signing Matthias is that he will be one of the only pieces we have that other teams will be interested in. I know he likes it in van so maybe he will take a small discount to stay say Higgins type money - 2.5 3.5 3.5 3 for a total of 3.125 over 4 years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derp... Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Whoa buddy slow the truck down there eh? Lol alright alright, fact of the matter is I just think Baertschi would be a good fit with Horvat. We can leave the lineup stuff out till we actually know what JB does at the draft. Baertschi Horvat Looks like fun. Argue with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87Crosby Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) My Lineup for next year: Sedin-Sedin-Kassian Mathias-Bonino-Vrbata Baertschi-Horvat-Burrows Hansen-Gaunce-Dorsett Jensen Call Up: Kenins due to waiver eligibility Edler-Tanev Hamhuis-Sbisa Stanton-Bieksa Clendening, Corrado Miller Markstrom/Lack Trade Higgins, let Richardson walk. Or let Richardson and Dorsett walk and replace Dorsett with Higgins in the lineup. Edited March 10, 2015 by 87Crosby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can we know what he will be like come training camp in 6 months? I also highly doubt he makes the team, but it would be cool if he did because that would mean Willy really thinks he's ready.

Hodgson!! Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 If Baertschi can somehow crack our line-up before the playoffs... Sedin - Sedin - Kassian Baertschi - Bonino - Vrbata Burrows - Matthias - Higgins Richardson - Horvat - Hansen We would have the deepest bottom 6 in the league.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
