Sven has not consistently battled for his space on the ice while being called up and that is his weakness.

That huska quote speaks to a lot to this. Since his initial call up I think the kid has some high expectations to produce that has eaten away at his positivity and enjoyment of the game ever since.
Love hearing that his vibe and mood are positive and is getting results.... Chicken and egg i suppose (results create positivity vs positivity create results), but if there's a kid I think needs to hit a stint on a roll and feeling good about himself, baertchi is it. I really think his career path would be much different if early year posts and missed opportunities found the back of the net and built up his confidence a bit.
I agree that he has shown some fragility, but I'd love to see what kind of pro game he really has when he's got some mojo going.
