Re: Canucks News n Notes 2019-2020
We couldn't keep Baertschi cause we needed Schaller's jam. [I realize you didn't directly state this, but I suspect it was part of Green's reasoning.]SKYO wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2019 8:24 pmThe hell does that have to do with Schaller?DonCherry4PM wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2019 7:37 pm Yeah, like Eriksson, Motte and Sutter.

Hence, I was just pointing out some other guys (with jam) that were kept up instead of Baertschi.

This is a more reasonable statement. He did look better in camp, (regardless what was said to the contrary today, ahem!).Richardstroker69 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2019 7:51 pm I haven’t heard it reported much but last year he basically quit on the team.

If he isn't claimed, he will get called up as soon as the team can afford it. Afford it. the real reason.
Sending Baertschi down with his previous health issues no doubt looks better to the PA then throwing the under performing Eriksson
man under the bus and sending his sorry ass to the farm. Indeed.

Been told a few teams seriously are thinking of claiming Biega off waivers, let’s see if it happens in the morning. #Canucks

Re: Canucks News n Notes 2019-2020
Eriksson is a better all around player than Baertschi. The problem being, the Gillis Bros allow for Eriksson’s contract to screw up with their assessment. Baertschi was a constant disappearing act and the frustration of many fans and media, but as usual, that is forgotten. It always ends up becoming about Eriksson and his contract with every whiner in this city. I got news for you - Baertschi isn’t that good. Not too mention that everybody knew there was going to be a sacrificial lamb which seems to be common place with every team in the NHL these days thanks to the cap and the fact that young players coming off their entry level contracts these days are hitting jack pot like we’ve never seen before

Re: Canucks News n Notes 2019-2020
Contracts do tend to be looked at in a cap world Sunshine. The team’s slowest, softest and laziest player is also the team highest paid player. Last guy to practice and the first guy off the ice. Yeah he’s a real mentor.

Not entirely right. Regardless of what Green said, he did have a good camp and looked better, happier and more willing to use his abilities.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2019 6:18 am Eriksson is a better all around player than Baertschi.

I have never been a big fan of Sven but was impressed with his camp and wllingness to get in there and battle for a spot.
IF>>> he's that guy, there's plenty of upside and NHL talent. The demotion was simply to be cap compliant and the fact that he would be more sought after than the six million dollar man.

I have never seen so many people absolutely lose their shit over waiving a 3rd line, often injured tweener.
