He likely was not, and I believe that his solid but unspectacular start to the season is evidence for that.
I don't think that it is at all uncontroversial to suggest that Rattie's likely misses Baertschi a great deal this year.

The words used to describe him were "lucky", "terrible", and "below average" (I will look for the exact posts later). Not once did I hear that he was the steal of the draft
