Having Sven getting 8 minutes a night with bad linemates does not help his development

The Red Wings are in a very different cycle than we are.
Easy for them to keep young guys down coming off their cup wins and appearances plus decent play-off performances.
The Flames are coming off 3 years out and another year out looking likely with zero players at the level of Datsyuk and Zetterberg.
