Travis Green connection. I actually like this pick up. Better than a second for a rental.

so we have a trade thread....yet we need individual thread for individual trades??? SKYO...suup dude

[SKYO]

Cause this involves the Canucks, and it's not such a minor deal rats.

@JSportsnet
Doug MacLean's comment on Travis Green's relationship with Sven Baerstchi in Portland, WHL....was key in the Canucks acquiring the Fwd.

He needs to clear waivers next year so we have a small window to get him on board. That's Vey, Clenndining and now Sven, all who would need to be waived. I like the move but we don't have a lot of roster wiggle room next year without making moves.

I believe Jensen can be added to that list too, HW

[SKYO]

Can have the tripleB line

Baertschi - Bones - Burrows

And Corrado??

Another reason to like this trade: the Mongoloid Farm has literally imploded with rage.

I like this trade. Only wish that we could have swapped Vey instead of a 2nd.

I just had a vision. We play the Flames round one. Sven is the guy to snuff out the flame in flames.

Rumour out of Calgary is he asked for a trade.

I thought this guy was going to be a big piece of the rebuild in cowtown and yet he hasn't seen a ton of games. What are the thoughts on his potential, I don't know a lot about him.

Oh no, another hockey dad asking for a trade??

But he has skill for days, and he has an outspoken father, Hans Ruedi, who ripped head coach Bob Hartley for putting his son in a “straightjacket.”

As if dad point wasn’t clear enough earlier this season, he was quoted in a Swiss paper saying:

“A trade would be the best for everyone involved and that’s what I’m hoping for. I think we’re done with Calgary.”

There is some debate about whether Baertschi asked for a trade in the fall, after being sent down. Hardly matters, he was never going to work in a Burke/Hartley world.

According to this article, it is a 2017 second rounder.

Now, he’s a Canuck, desperately in need of a fresh start, and acquired by the organization for a second round pick, apparently in 2017.
