I would be floored if Baertchi was anywhere but the taxi squad or the AHL. It's like everyone conveniently forgot he wasn't that great to begin with... He was OK as a fill in when we had dismal options on wing. If we need a soft perimeter player i can think of better ones than Sven in the top 6. He doesn't belong on the third line either.
In fact if he belonged on either, another team would have taken him for free before the flat cap was announced.
