Hf has him at ten in a list that includes guys like Hamilton, tarasenko, yakupov, Schultz, etc above him
I think thn had him in a similar spot.
I have a hard time seeing how he's not top ten

Well if you believe the hype about this draft then you would have to say Sven would slot behind Mackinnon, Druoin, Jones, Barkov, Nichushkin, and Lindholm.
McDavid from the year after.
Kuznetsov. Gotta say Ryan Murray don't you?
Has Baertschi passed guys like Strome and Scheifele? Hard to say at this point. He's older and was in the AHL a year earlier as a result so you can't really do a direct comparison.
I guess he would be in the mix for top ten if you don't include guys that played their rookie season this year but played more games then Sven. The Yakupovs and Galchenyuks.
Other 1992s's that put up equally impressive stats in the AHL this season:
Ryan Spooner
Tyler Toffoli
Jason Zucker
Jamie Oleksiak
Pretty much impossible to say which of these players is going to end up the best down the road. I would say Sven is a very good prospect, but I'm unconvinced he is instantly number #1 in most orgs. Wild fans for example probably wouldn't trade Brodin for him at this point.
