When Baertschi excelled in his draft +1 year, that was plenty of reason for fans to get optimistic.

I'm going to assume you discount it because of the players age vs. the competition he's against. 1 year, 2 year means a lot at the junior level. Doing something in your draft year means a lot more than managing to step it up the next year when you are a year older in junior, much easier to do.
