I just realized that Sven Baertschi IS Trent Richardson (NFL)

Player is a high draft pick of a team with a lousy reputation with developing offensive players [Check]

Rookie season shows potential and builds hype in fan base [Check]
3 goals in 5 games for Sven, 950 yards 11 TD for Trent

However, player still has flaws
Trent can't get past 3.5 YPC, Sven struggled in the d zone

Traded to a conference rival for a high draft pick mid season, with a much better track record of developing offensive players[Check]
Trent to the Colts, Sven to Canucks

When the trade broke, everyone thought the team acquiring the player won the trade, and would make the player as good as he can be [Check]

Player has huge confidence after the trade and plays well [Check]
Trent scores a TD in his first game, Sven lights up the AHL

Same old flaws rear their ugly head with new team, doubters grow louder [Ongoing]
Trent 3.3 YPC, healthy scratched in playoffs then released
Sven, -1 in first game with flashes of upside but largely invisible with bad defensive plays.

Thoughts?
