Sven, based on PPG is on pace for a 30 point season. His line mates for the bulk of the games he's played are on pace for an 87 and 60 point seasons respectively. Sven is not pulling his weight based on the opportunities he's been presented, based on the performance of his peers (Jiri and Sean), or the expectations of him going into the season.
So he sits. There is a very uncomplicated reason to sit the guy.

Completely flawed argument. I can think of at least 5 goals in which Baertschi contributed towards but was not awarded a point.
His linemates wouldn't be scoring at those paces if he wasn't on their line.
No surprise that their production has plummeted since Hartley decided to go full ######.
