Not saying he will be awesome but he has shown a lot in his WHL career that if people are excited about Baertschi should at least acknowl edge that Rattie has some upside/excitement as well.

Alright, so Wellwood is two inches shorter and about 20 pounds heavier.
I think my point still remains.
In Wellwood's final WHL season, he put up 100 points in the season (yes, slightly less than Rattie) and had a 2.0 PPG in the playoffs.
Playing style-wise, I see similarities to Kyle Wellwood. Both soft. Both weak. Sorry, I just have a thing against weak, soft players.
Yes, his WHL career has been pretty exciting, but IMO Baertschi's game is FAR more complete than Rattie's.
