Considering how much worse Rattie was without Baertchi in the lineup, I'm not concerned about the stacked team factor. It's like Iginla with Cammy vs Iginla with Tanguay. When he's with Tanguay he gets more goals, but when he's with Cammy, he gets more assists. Cammy's a sniper and since Iggy draws defensemen to him, it makes it easy to Cammy to get open and get his shot off. Same thing with Rattie and Baertchi. When Baertchi is in the linup, teams try to cover him knowing that Rattie usually won't score without someone setting him up, but Beartchi finds a way to get the puck either to Rattie, or to an open player who gets it to Rattie anyways.
