I agree that he is a good second round pick, but by the way he was being talked up in some circles, one would be forgiven for believing that he was the steal of the 2010 draft. 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.

I have not heard any talk of him being an uber prospect but if people are saying that I agree that is way over rating him.
I do agree that he is missing Baertschi just like Sven would be missing him if Sven came back to junior and Rattie wasn't back. I think any prospect no matter how good is going to miss having another top level guy on his team.
