I don't think we should trade Baertschi. He's a good 2nd line caliber player that has proven chemistry with Horvat and can play up and down the lineup. Green was talking about running three scoring lines, which will probably be the plan once Gaudette is up with the team full time. Baertschi could be a big part of that scoring depth. In addition, he's also someone who changed his style of play to be more energetic and defensively aware to stay in the NHL, which is a good influence for the younger players. He's on a relatively cheap contract and he's also best friends with Horvat.
WIth the winger jam, I'd look to get rid of Goldobin, Pearson or possibly Leivo. Goldobin will probably be in Green's doghouse for as long as he's in Vancouver. I really want to work out a deal around Goldobin for Puljujarvi, maybe us adding in a mid round pick.
