He is not the all around superstar everyone wants him to be. There's a reason he was drafted in the mid first round and not Top 5. He's a sniper and a playmaker, but with holes on the back end....and you know what, that's ok.

Let him do what he is effin good that, not try to turn him into Joe Sakic.
I agree with this and in all honesty I think Sven is much better defensively than people are giving him credit for.

You put him with Backlund and leave him with Backlund and I bet Sven has a lot of success from the get go.
