Colborne went 16th, traded 5 years later for a 4th rounder.
Baertschi went 13th, traded 4 years later for a 2nd rounder.
Value diminishes.

Baertschi was either going to make the team between now and October, or we'd lose him for nothing. We've also had a bunch of other winger prospects pass him, so the writing was on the wall.
