I think Baertschi's ideal spot in the lineup is on the 3rd line, but on more of a offensive minded line. If he succeeds or has a hot streak don't be afraid to bump him up to the 2nd line or on the PP. Please don't play him with plugs like Jackman or Jones. His skill level isn't suited for the dump and chase kind of game.
Baertschi Backlund Glencross/Stempniak
Thats why I think it would be in our best interest to acquire 1 more top 6 forward so we can bump Glencross back to the 3rd line to play with both youngsters. All though he sometimes can be hot headed and take stupid penalties he is generally a good defensive player.
