I don't care how bad of a year you have nobody drops 4 spots in a year.
This narrative about trying him on RW and then him tearing it up on LW seems a bit fictional to me. His much did you see him in abbots ford anyway? Who are the ignorant ones?

Prospects can easily drop 4 spots. Doesn't mean Baertschi is a bust. But we drafted a guy with higher upside (Bennett) and a few players with very high upside had much better years than Sven (Poirier and Granlund)
