I do feel sorry for Sven. While Baertschi hasn't been effective at all, for some reason I don't feel like the support and willingness to work with him from Hartley is there like it has been for the other young players on this team. During Gaudreau's first five games, Hartley spoke out in support of him and said things like would be given a long leach, is adjusting, has been a great student, etc - and I don't get that same enthusiasm from Hartley when he talks about Sven. I'm not he saying deserves more ice time, but there are ways outside of game time that you can use to help him - I wonder what feedback Sven has been getting from coaches to get better and if he has given extra time to work with in practice, because right now he seems lost.
