There is your new Utica #1 Center

Does he play C? if so the Jeffrey trade makes much more sense.

Calgary fans seemed pissed

I like it.

Agreed, nice little move

This is a very Linden Vey type deal.

We just picked up Baertschi for a 2nd

Word. I think it's a decent low risk trade for a potential future top 6er. He was selected 13th overall in 2011.

Baertshi?
- nucks_94

We are corning the market on Swiss players

So for those of you who thought Baertschi was a bust...

I like it.

Same here, he is speeding up the rebuild

Not at all.

Thought so, but only listed as LW.

I don't think he's a bust but I think he has a lot of risk. For a 2nd I think it's a good gamble
Edit: it's also not a terrible deal for CAL, as you guys still have Granlund ahead of Baertschi and a lot of other talented young players

Bust at 13th overall......but for a 2nd he is a steal obviously.

Oh, he's still a bust until his first goal for this team.

Exactly. If we drafted a player with his talent and upside in the 2nd round this year I would have been pretty happy.

LW, hasn't played C as far as I know.

Roughly .5 ppg through some rough seasons in Calgary, I cant complain. Suddenly looking at Canuck players, we have more NHL/borderline NHLers that are 25 or younger

Great a 1st then no picks till the 4th round.

i'm guessing he's confident that he can move one of his goalies for some picks

Gotta make the 1st count. That said, more trading to be done prior to the draft me thinks.
