I remember him being my horse in the race when we drafted Baertschi.
Had never seen him, but he was a big CHL center (which at the time was they only type of player any Flames Fan focused on), and I remember thinking that playing on a US team allot of the normal OHL would probably have less viewings of him, and the Canadian sources seemed lower on him than ISS.
I was surprised he fell to the second round, and even more surprised I turned out to be right about him. He could have been a pretty good mid 1st round pick.
