If Baertschi has the talent he'll emerge. Nothing Hartley does to him should be able to change that.

Just like when Detroit brought Datsyuk and Zetterberg in on the 3rd and 4th lines and ruined them.
Hartley helped develop Tanguay, Hejduk, Drury, etc in Colorado and Heatley, Kovalachuk, Savard, etc in Atlanta. I think he has a pretty good understanding of how to develop young players.
