That's not a knock on baertchi, but he just hasn't been able to transition his game to the NHL level and a lot of that has to do with the fact that he just isn't strong enough yet.

He can't finish. Can't pass, doesn't hit, doesn't fight. He is purely a filler. He skates well and is decent on the boards, but besides that he does little to help the team. He lost us our last game by taking a delay of game penalty and then turning over the puck for the second Boston goal.
Agree that he brings more to the team than Sven. But neither should be on an NHL team.
