Baertschi has .69 points per game at the AHL level this year. Last year, .71. Adirondack's leading scorer (Shore) has .78 ppg and most of those were scored for another team. Sven's are pretty decent numbers for a 21/22 year old, and about the same as Poirier who everyone is hyped about.

To give another example, during the lockout season, Brendan Gallagher was apparently quite disappointing for many Canadiens fans.
He then played almost the entire shortened NHL season, and scored at a higher pace with Montreal than he did in Hamilton.
