While very arbitrary, helps put the potential value of a pick in some perspective, at least to me.

Baertschi would have been an 13th overall at the start of last season (where he was drafted) but his demotion and slow development in the AHL would have moved him down...
All but one of the players drafted ahead of him are closer to being NHL regulars than he is except for #11 pick Duncan Siemens.
2nd round picks Boone Jenner, Saad, Nieto, Jurco would be ahead of him and even the Flames Granlund might be ahead of Baertschi.
Out of the the 2011 draft class he would be a late 1st rounder.
