baertchi fan here, but based on what i saw in the games, he didn't have much to do with the success of the line, or the lack of success since his demotion.
Monahan was also in a similar advantageous position of playing with the team's most skiller player in hudler, yet, not sure if it's just the injury or the normalization after the quick start, but even he's more or less struggled in a while.
i would almost consider why the flames didn't lend monahan to the WJC at the same time they demoted baertchi. i think it would have provided a valuable experience, unless he isn't 100% healthy in which case why is he playing at all?
