You're cherry picking to make a point. Baertschi has struggled and Backlund hasn't been able to put up much offence. Development isn't just about how your two mid-range 1st rounders do, it's about everyone. Nor is this "leash" idea even remotely applicable. You can just give them infinite room to make mistakes without threat of repercussion. That's a way to ruin a prospect.

what's confusing is that Baertschi seems to be getting significantly different treatment that the others you mention without seeming to be performing significantly worse. He seems to be getting tougher love that on the surface doesn't seem warranted.
