but hey, im not an nhl coach...

a few things
1. the Jokinen line is going well
2. By all accounts TK is a good mentor type for the 2 young players and is enjoying that role, giving them coaching of sorts on the bench etc (not that the veterans on the Jokinen line couldn't do that also but sounds like they are happy with the mentoring that Baertschi is getting)
3. On the 3rd line Baertschi should be seeing a team's 3rd dpair and depth forwards- probably the better situation now that on the top 2 lines who are getting shutdown attention. In fact the Jokinen line often plays against top forwards from the other team too, so not necessarily best for the rookie
