According to Benning:
-Flames called them about Baertschi
-Feel he'll be a top six player one day
-Based on what they feel they'd get in the second round, they thought Baertschi was a better bet
-Called him fast and skilled
-Don't know what happened to his development in Calgary but they're happy to have him
-Baertschi reporting to Utica; Travis (Utica Coach) coached him before

Sorry, I said I was going to be able to take notes for the Treliving presser but I thought his presser would be more immediate than it was at the time. I have to head out to do some errands, could someone else please take up the mantle?

-Treliving not angry about requested Trade
-Sven didn't want to re-sign
-Sven was falling from depth chart
-Van deal was the best deal out there

Some notes on the press conference:

Thank Sven for all of his hard work
Good young man, wish him well
Adding a 2nd round pick in a deep draft is a good asset
Six picks in the first 3 rounds of a deep draft
Worked hard to try and add, unable to find a fit
Lots of calls on our players today
Where we are is because of our players, no inclination to make a deal unless it made sense, nothing did that
Context on Sven, time here is well documented. Recent months Sven's agent requested trade. Looking for opportunity elsewhere.
Progression of other young players allowed them to make the trade, passed Sven on the depth chart.
No intention of re-signing with Calgary, desires were not to return, that was made clear in the past few weeks.
Looked for fit and value, deal they got was the best out there.
Picks may be used to acquire other players.
Gio update: not good news. He will be undergoing surgery for torn bicep, complete tendon tear. Surgery is this week.
