IMO, Baertschi was pretty bad against the Hawks. Plays seemed to die on his stick and physically, it looks like he took a step back this year - he gets tossed off the puck too frequently.
Hopefully Hartley is able to approach Sven in such a way that he maintains his motivation. Sven seems like a smart kid so hopefully he understands how far his game has to come for him to be a regular.
