Some may hate to hear this, but Baertschi played better last year under Brent Sutter when he had 1 less year of development (and no AHL time)... this stuff about Baertschi not earning it, do you really think he is getting worse?

I am in agreement with you that he should be getting icetime (though my post may have been ambiguous). I think that he showed last year as well as the first couple games this year that he can handle the pace of the NHL and is an NHL player.
He needs to be on the ice - making some mistakes is ok.
