It was mentioned earlier, that Baertschi is showing about the same as some of the lesser veterans in the lineup. The sad thing is that these are guys we point at being failures for the team and wanting them traded or dispatched to the minors. The guys Baertschi has to be showing the same as are the guys in the top six roles, and more importantly the guys on the left side. If Baertschi wants to win a job on the left side he has to show more than Glencross, Gaudreau and Granlund. That is the bottom line for the kid and he isn't even close to competing with those three guys. That is how he is going to be judged because the expectation is he is supposed to be a top line left winger.

IMO, that is the
THE bottom line for Sven.
That is who he is competing against for ice time.
He is a distant 4th at the moment
