Baertschi hasn't played harder than any of those guys. Baertschi played sheltered minutes. Hudler, Stempniak and Brodie played damn hard last year, much harder than Baertschi for certain. But something you'll notice about your list, three of them are gone and two more will be gone by the end of the year. The management team wants a certain quality of player on this team and Baertschi has to prove he is one of them. You can bet your bottom dollar that if he doesn't get his stuff together he'll be one of those guys that's used to bring in a big name player the team desperately needs.
