I think the year in the WHL was critical for development from Sven. It really is only his second year on NA ice. I also think people tend to forget that he was given every oppurtunity out of camp and just wasn't there. He looks a ton better now then he did in the preseason, especially with the pace and games ramped up.
After seeing him again 6 months later I think he has shown management that he is in their plans next season and they don't need to have a plan B with him.
