No. He was the Flames best prospect because he has world-class hands and is nearly an elite level skater. Baertschi has always had warts and flaws that kept him out of the top five at the 2011 draft, but he was always a great prospect. Some of those problems seem to have caught up with him, and he has certainly had his issues the past two years—but he can still be a very good player.
