In terms of Baertschi's top linemates:

2014/2015: Byron-Bollig-Russell-Wideman
2013/2014: Monahan-Hudler-Russell-Butler
2012/2013: TJ Brodie- Wideman- Cammalleri- Backlund

Sure this year he was dropped more to bottom 6 duty (and that was probably more from an evaluation perspective to see if he could play in that role) but in his stints with the team the last 2 seasons he was frequently put with top 6 talent in a position to succeed.

He had a short leash with Hartley, and maybe didn't get top PP time, but he was given good linemates 5 v 5.
