I honestly don't mind Baertschi on the 4th line for the moment. As most posters have said, the protected minutes will be good for him and he could very well end up potting one while playing against less skilled 4th line opposition. I feel like the kid just needs to score one, and he'll start feeling it... it will do wonders for his confidence.
Honestly, as much of a anti-comeau hard-on we all have, the guy hasn't played that badly the last couple of games. Give him a chance to roll and if he doesn't, start the Hartley shuffle.
