I mean, if we're going to use the argument that Baertschi is simply being held accountable, and all.

You are really starting to come apart at the seams now with this stretch.
As has been said the Wideman/Russell pairing has been good so no point in breaking that up. Who do you think is a better candidate on the roster to play in place of Gio? SOB has been good because he hasn't been asked to do anything more than he is capable of. Butler has played first pairing in the past for this team so it's not a stretch for him to assume this role and after seeing how little ice time he got against the Coyotes there was no way the coaches were going to ramp up Breen to top pairing.
