Vancouver Canucks fans love Sven Baertschi. Not only because he’s a very likeable person and good hockey player, but also because Vancouver got him from the Calgary Flames — which means the Flames don’t have him anymore. There really isn’t much to dislike about Baertschi. So, it comes as no surprise that not everyone fell in love with the idea of acquiring another left winger to put ahead of Baertschi.
Still, for a team that wants to win, the idea to have a plan B in case Baertschi doesn’t break out just yet, is a very good one.
