When was Rattie out that Baertschi continued scoring? Rattie played pretty well the whole season and only missed a single playoff game. It was Baertschi who missed chunks of the season.
Again, I think people got all too excited after the 2011-12 season and Baertschi's call up. I admit to being one of them. I thought he was a star in the making. It appears that was not a fair projection. There was a reason why Sven went 13th in what is looking to be a pretty weak draft. We hoped we had caught a sleeper, but it doesn't look that way. considering the best players from his draft year are looking like 2nd liners, calling him a 7 is a fair call in my opinion. But if you don't like that particular projection, take it up with Flash Walken. He boldly made the statement. I only cited him and supported his claims.
