I'm not convinced that what we witnessed this past season was the result of "natural chemistry" any more than it was Rattie—a very good prospect in his own right—taking advantage and feeding off of the elite-level intelligence, vision and puck skills of Baertschi.
Can you think of any examples of two juniour players with tremendous "chemistry" who managed to reproduce it at the NHL level? If not, then I seriously question why we would pursue this as an option for Baertschi and Rattie.
