Naw.
His speed isn't anything special. Playoffs are all about tight checking, desire and will to win. Goals usually aren't pretty, and missed assignments are usually the difference. Bottom line Baertschi is the complete opposite of everything the playoffs is about and stands for. He's the ultimate antithesis of a playoff player. To say nothing about the fact he's a mental midget.
Pretty sure Willie Desjardins is a pretty astute guy though and won't be dumb enough to actually play Baertschi in the playoffs.
