Although the Sven Baertschi's career is beginning as an era ends in Calgary, he appreciates the brief overlap.

"I don't take it for granted, that's for sure," Baertschi said, "being able to say you played with Miikka Kiprusoff, with Jarome Iginla. That's special, for any young player. A dream. Those guys, they are where the rest of us want to be. But few of us will get to. They're all-timers. So you watch, and you learn, while you can." Iginla has already been traded and Kiprusoff might retire this summer. Baertschi meanwhile is a highly regarded prospect that could eventually become one of those players that youngsters feel grateful for being able to play with.

Sven Baertschi has been focused on playing a grittier game since being called up.

"When I came up, I was excited," Baertschi said. "I knew I had a lot to make up for and I had to prove something. I came up and switched my game a little. I wanted to play hard and gritty. I know I can score goals and make plays, but there's other parts of the game that I had to learn and Bob (Hartley) and the assistant coaches really helped me." Baertschi has a ton of offensive potential and even though he struggled with the Flames this season, he's still worth keeping a close eye on during Calgary's 2013 training camp.

Sven Baertschi scored on Monday for the second consecutive game.

This is after Baertschi failed to score all season in NHL action, so the 20-year-old future star is getting his game back in order. "He skated well," coach Bob Hartley said of Baertschi. "The more the young man touches the puck, the more he can make good things happen . . . Slowly but surely, he's coming back, and that's very important for us." Baertschi is one young Flame that the team is counting on to take them back into the playoffs, but that could take a few years. He is worth owning in all keeper pools.

Sven Baertschi scored his first goal of the season Saturday.

It was a big game for the young winger who went over a calendar year since his last NHL goal, albeit less than 20 games. "I'm happy it's over," Baertschi said. "I had a heavy backpack for a while. Now I just dropped it and now I can just keep going. It feels much better now." The Flames sent Baertschi to the minors for four weeks on March 8 and it did wonders for the future star of the Flames. Do not forget about him next season, especially in keeper leagues.

Sven Baertschi had a tough time when he was demoted to the minors a month ago.

Baertschi sulked for a week upon his demotion to the AHL after picking up only one assist in 10 NHL games. But he soon realized that it was for the best and started playing better after that. "The best decision they made was to send me down," Baertschi said. "You get rattled, you get caught up in things. You're mad at people. You're mad at yourself. You don't even think about why it actually happened. After a little while, I understood. In the first couple of games in Abby I wasn't comfortable. I didn't want to be there. And then at the same time, I realized again if I want to go back up there, I've got to perform here. I've got to show them what I can do here." Baertschi ended up with four goals and seven points in the AHL and will now get a chance to play as the Flames wind down their season with only three weeks to go in the NHL regular season. He is worth looking at in keeper leagues.
