Slapping an F on Baertschi is a touch beyond ridiculous.
He may have continued to do minor league things on the ice here and there and have those defensive gaps that were at times glaring, but to me he was extremely noticeable for the most part. The effort was there most nights and he would try to make a difference whether it got him in trouble or not. I at least could see the try. I can admire that more than some of these other guys who literally vanish into thin air because they do nothing to change or alter the game in any way shape or form and seemingly couldn't care less about that fact. Just bodies to fill the ice.
