As for Baertschi, he's where I expected him to be: developing. He's showing signs of absolute brilliance, but sometimes looks lost and weak. Defensively, he's making adjustments from the AHL to the NHL. He'll grow into his role I'm sure. He's looked much smarter the last couple games.

Definitely lacks strength and getting bounced around a lot. Not all that different than Backlund when he first came up but has made some progress in this area despite still being made of glass.
