Don't see it that way. They wanted him to be better defensively, which is fair and to my mind, he was getting better but the Gallagher reference is key because there's a ton of quality defensive players out there but Gallagher's best known for his non-stop motor. And that what I see the Flames wanted most out of Baertschi but that's not his game; he's like Tanguay or even Hudler in that he picks his spots. Both of those guys are average to above average defensively but neither go all out each and every shift.
It's just what AF said, it was about playing in all 3 zones.
