Very creative, but I think he's starting to learn that his continuous creativity that he displayed in the WHL won't fly 100% of the time anymore. Like StrykerSteve said, the creativity that does work creates chances for his team.
What's surprised me the most about Sven (that I didn't know about it before) is his toughness and tenacity. If he gets hit, he'll let the guy know about it by giving him a whack on the ankle or a small spear to the back of the leg. Sometimes, he'll even mix it up in front of the net if he feels he took a cheap shot.
He's probably the fastest guy on the team along with Byron, Sylvester, and (surprisingly) Aliu.
Other than his craftiness and feistiness, not much else to tell. Everything else is what you'd expect. His vision is so superior to everyone on the ice that his teammates sometimes miss passes because they don't expect him to feed a pass through a three sets of legs and three sticks haha.
