Ossi Vaananen Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Friedman said it during the intermission of the earlier games. I only have hearsay tweets, but i'll turn this rumour into a report once Friedman writes something in 31 thoughts or video surfaces. Honestly, if it was anything, even a bag of pucks, the Canucks should have taken it. Maybe Habs wanted us to take cap back and it's a hard no. We'll see how this plays out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rounoush Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Hate on me all you people want but I still like Baertschi and hope he stays. Edited January 5, 2020 by Rounoush 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Blight Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I believe he also said that it never got to the talking stage with the Canucks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was put on waivers so Mtl could've had him for free, so if it did get to talking stages it must've fallen apart due to taking cap back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanukfanatic Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 It is a bit of a good sign at least. Hopefully some teams that are still in the playoff hunt in the next 6 weeks have players that get injured and they trade for baer lol. Open up some cap for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserves a chance to prove himself on another team. He's better than the AHL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodCanadianKideh Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Having Baertschi as depth for a long playoff run is a good thing for the Canucks. If he continues his solid production in the AHL and has a solid playoff run in Utica and/or in Vancouver, then teams could become interested again. Trade him in the off-season when teams might take a chance on him with only a one year contract remaining. I feel for the guy as I think he is an NHL player, but from a Canucks perspective, this is a pretty good situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get your hopes up. Montreal got Kovy for league minimum. They likely wanted us to retain 50% cap, which then only saves us like 800k of cap space. Doesn't really mean much.

If they threw in a half decent draft pick it would be worth considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Getting the vibe that more & more teams wanna dump vet contracts & insert far cheaper youth. Flamers fortunate for flipping Frolik(F5)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I wonder is the Penguins could possibly have some interest in Baer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Looking back Baer usually got a "B" on his player report card, was on pace for a career season last from from a points per game perspective, nobody complained about his contract when signed, and is tearing it up in the AHL. He is only 27 and has just one year left on his contract after this. As much as I am surprised he got cut from our roster I am equally as surprised nobody wanted to take a chance on him. If the offer for Baertschi was say Dale Weise I still would have taken it to clear cap for next season. That said I am hoping he makes a comeback and plays well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His CAP hit is the biggest issue. Any acquiring team is likely a playoff bound team looking for injury relief. Benning has to jump on that kinda deal.
