Do you really think guys like Patrick Kane, Stamkos, Girouix, etc are told to be "solid in all 3 zones". No they are told to score. These guys are defensively strong because they play so much offense that the other team struggles to get into the other teams zone.
For guys like baertschi, a good defense should stem from an excellent offensive zone attack.

Amen.
This is not a Brent Sutter team anymore. Let's stop acting like it.
While I think he does need to compete in all zones, that's not what he needs to put all his focus on now. His focus needs to be on developing his offensive tools to make him the offensive impact player that he has the talent to be. Everything else can follow.
