With all due respect to Nino Niederreiter, the Minnesota Wild have not had a lot of success drafting players from Switzerland. The Wild couldn’t entice Julien Sprunger (4th round, 117th Overall in 2004) to sign, and Minnesota didn’t even bother trying to sign Julian Walker after drafting him in the 6th round (162nd Overall) in 2006. So it may not seem all that unreasonable that many Wild fans’ expectations of Christoph Bertschy where pretty low when the team drafted him 158th Overall in 2012.
