I really don't think there is any doubt about it. Baertschi is the most prolific scorer in the entire CHL with a 1.94 pts/game average (Nail Yakupov ranks second with 1.90 pts/game). He simplay CANNOT stay in Juniour, given that he has very clearly demonstrated that he is a ridiculously dominant player at this level.
Baertschi is virtually guaranteed to turn pro next year—without question.

Now, if Baertschi does turn pro next year, chances are very high that he will begin the season with the Flames, and I suspect given their investment in him and the suspect depth in the top six that he will almost certainly make the team as a top-six forward.
