By a while you mean the couple pre season games? Or the final 7 games of last season where he had at least a point in every one and was playing out of this world?
The kid is talented enough and has always played with effort. So sick of hearing Burke motivated him to play better defensively when Baertschi has always been good defensively. It is a myth. Look at his praises early on when he joined the Flames. It was always about how well he played without the puck too which is why they compared him to Hossa.
