ShakyWalton Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Baertschi's first goal. Hard to see because of the bad camera work, but he kind of just throws it at the net and it goes in. https://gfycat.com/AmusingAlertHarrier Baertschi's almost goal where he thinks he scores. https://gfycat.com/AlarmedBoilingDrever Baertschi's empty net goal. https://gfycat.com/IckyAdoredComet unselfish play by Grenier..passing to Sven with an open net..how was Shinks goal?

That looks more like the goals he scored in junior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gstank29 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I'm really excited to see him next year in trainning camp. Could be a perfect set up man for Vrbata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I think it`s similar to Grabner in his 3rd season in the AHL. The guy was clearly good enough for the next level. The Canucks just never really made room for him. With his contract status next season, the coach will be forced to use him. So Baertschi stunk it up in camp every year and then got moved before he was waiver eligible after showing some promise in his call ups but still being behind others on the NHL roster? I get what you mean to a point but their situations aren't that similar. I don't think Baertschi has had trouble in camp so much, and Grabner wasn't necessarily disparaged in his time here like Burke did with Baertschi.

Baertschi's work ethic was definitely questioned by Burke in camp. And yes, he was forced down the depth chart on the Flames by less skilled players. My point was that he is on the brink of being an NHLer much like Grabner was. Just have to have a little patience with him.

Off_The_Schneid! Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 What I don't understand is that he's played very well in the nhl I don't understand Calgary on this one other then sometimes a team just doesn't have a spot for the player Sven should be playing in the nhl shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo.Horvat53 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Kesler always needed that playmaking winger... Only if eh? Baertschi-Kesler-Vrbata Anyway, we have Bones now and hopefully he and Sven can develop some chemistry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking it might even be Horvat: D Sedin - H Sedin - Kassian Matthias - Bonino - Vrbata Baertschi - Horvat - Burrows Dorsett - UFA/Richie/Vey/Prospect - Hansen Missing #20, and we know JB loves his Higgy so we'll have to see what happens next year Edited March 22, 2015 by Dasein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyllenhaal Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I truly think Calgary made a huge mistake trading Baertschi. Burke has no patience when it comes to developing pure offensive players and we're going to reap the benefits from that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgson!! Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 3 goals and 5 assists in 7 games. Could have had a loottt more. Baertschi has been extremely impressive so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesB Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 baertschi - bonino - vrbata I agree this is a plausible second line for next year, with all three guys already under contract. And I expect to see the entire line of Kenins-Horvat-Hansen to continue together as the third line. That is pretty good middle six with a very reasonable price tag. That leaves the Sedins with either Burrows or Kassian as the first line and a lot of competition for the 4th line. Higgins is under contract and Vey is an RFA. Unless someone is moved there is not much room to re-sign free agents Matthias, Dorsett, and Richardson. But those three guys provide much needed size (Matthias) and toughness (Dorsett and Richardson). And some people think Virtanen has a chance. And Guance could make a push. Obviously either UFAs disappear or some players have to be moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Baertschi is elite at the AHL level and will be a fantastic top-6 winger on this team soon. The Flames will be hard-pressed to get someone of his quality with a 2nd round pick, even if they want a defenceman they're not going to get anything worth Baertschi with that pick. Doubt he'll get much NHL time this season with 10ish games left and Vey, Kassian and Kenins all fighting for the remaining ice-time, but next season we'll have a dog-fight for forwards. The emergence of Vey, Kassian, Baertschi and maybe even Jensen means we can let Richardson and Dorsett walk, and maybe even trade Higgins for a 2nd round pick (or package him for something bigger). Sedin - Sedin - Kassian Vbrata - Bonino - Vey Baertschi - Matthias - Burrows Kenins - Horvat - Hansen Jensen That's how you start a youth movement - get kids like Vey and Kassian up into that top-6 slowly, and eventually Horvat will move up our ranks to become our 2nd line center. I kept him here as our "4C" just because of the line chemistry he has right now, but he'll be playing as our 3rd line center in no time, maybe even with Baertschi. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaSwede Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) It's so encouraging that Sven is doing so well in Utica so far. I think management will convince the coaching staff to be patient with Sven next season when he get's a spot on the team. Not only will he help out offensively, he will most likely be featured on a struggling 2nd line PP unit, push talent down the line-up making the team deeper, and add a much needed offensive winger to the top 6. I can't remember the last time the Canucks could potentially be as deep as they could be next year. There will be some changes because the Canucks will be in the luxury of a log-jam on forwards. Perfect opportunity for Benning to acquire one or two draft picks in the 2nd-3rd round of the draft depending on who gets the chop. Dorsett and Matthias I am 100% convinced will be re-signed, Richardson I am at 40%, I think he might be gone and that's not down to his play, I think he has been fantastic for us. I really like Chris Higgins and I really do hope he stays but I don't think there will be room for him on the roster next season. If Higgins is traded I think Richardson will be re-signed. So the line-up if Higgins is traded for a 2nd round pick(value?) Sedin - Sedin - Kassian Baertschi - Bonino - Vrbata Matthias - Horvat - Burrows Dorsett - Richardson - Hansen Vey, Kenins I think Vey might be in risk of being pushed out if he doesn't up his game and improve in the circle. Even if Higgins stays I think Matthias would play over Vey. Edited March 22, 2015 by DeltaSwede Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
