Zetterberg was 5th with 16:11 which I admit I was wrong about, figured that Yzerman, Holmstrom, Larionov, and Lucky Luc would have been ahead of him on the depth chart.

Even with that in mind Baertschi has played 11:36 which would be 9th on the team with the regular players and has only played 4th line one game.
I don't mind if they try and play Sven some sheltered minutes and would say 13 mins but be the right amount, but not giving him PP time and lining him up with pluggers (even if just to start) seems like a poor way to use him and doesn't make much sense.
