Also, I haven't been able to watch any games. Is Sven still playing really well and his points are just regressing towards the mean (hard to keep a 2.0 ppg) or has he actually slowed down?

I think it's a little too early to call Wotherspoon a bad pick at that spot. In The Hockey News mock draft he was expected to go at #44. NHL Central Scouting had him at #50, while some mock drafts had him going in the low-100's (#110 and #108). The Flames took him at #57.
I have no doubt he's going to be a project, but right now he's progressing nicely.
