Brodin is still pretty unproven. He's only played 20 more games then Baertschi. I guess it depends on what your own personal cut off is in terms of games played. They were both taken in the same draft.
Six months ago probably 95% of hockey fans would have picked Baerstchi over Brodin, but now Brodin has surged ahead.
In terms of projection. Well its a hard thing to predict. I think basing career projections on current play is just as fair as anything else. Not sure I would say Sven is easily ahead of the other 92's.
If Oleksiak becomes a 6'7" shutdown D-man that plays 25 minutes a night and chips in a bit of offence, then he is worth then Baertschi if he ends up being a Eberle/Pierre-Marc Bouchard level player.
