Sven is a resilient guy, he took Burke's comments with maturity, and now this is another situation where Sven is going to show his maturity again.
He just turned 21 years old, you know he is going to work hard and figure it out. It's just a matter of time for Baertschi.
All players take different paths towards success in the NHL. His point totals so far are pretty good IMO, but the coaches want more out of him, which isn't a bad thing. They obviously want Sven to develop into a solid 3 zone player, and I have no problem with that. One game being scratched isn't going to hurt his development.
P.K. Subban was a healthy scratch in 2011 he seems to be doing alright.
