Yeah I think the buzz and excitement over Sven has eclipsed that of Tkaczuk, Fata and Saprykin. Sven is dominating offensively this year and none of the other prospects did that.
Right now he's looking like the best offensive prospect we've drafted since I've been following the team (since '95 or so). Hopefully he fulfills most of the promise he's showed so far.
One of the best signs about him is that he seems to do something every game. Doesn't seem like he's taking nights off at all. Combine that with the rumours about his character and work ethic and you have a guy who should pan out barring injury issues. I'm not sure he really has a big hole in his game right now.
