Looks alot like Sven's stats this year.
If every player who had a disappointing rookie season with the Flames went on to be Art Ross winners, nearly ever first round pick the Flames have had in the last decade except Phaneuf should have the trophy.

St. Louis and Baertschi aren't really comparable. Baertschi had a disappointing start, I suppose, but nearly everyone should still have high hopes for him as a highly touted first round pick and he just needs some more time to develop. St. Louis faltered in his attempt with the Flames and he was already a huge question mark that no other team even bothered with, both before and after he went undrafted. Of course we know how he turned out but really went through a completely different path than Baertschi is taking.
