Like many have said, and what I believe as well, is that young players benefit greatly by getting a chance to sit back and see the game. Pretty sure sometime in the year Monahan will in the press box for a game or 2. Sven might end up there again... it's all part of learning the NHL, and paying your dues.
It's amazing how fast cp changes... laughable actually. 1st 5 games, best team and coach ever. 2nd 5 games... they are the worst. They have 10 points in 10 games... by all accounts, I'm more than happy with that right now.

What I find funny is people who argue in the extremes of a false dichotomy...
"You don't like how they treat Sven, you must love what's going on up
north"
Maybe it isn't apparent to you, but Edmonton is the extreme and there is a pretty big gap in between those two.
It is possible to be a little more reasonable with Sven without doing the full garbage of free ice-time up north.
I would have thought posters would be able to see that but I guess not.
By the way, I agree that sitting can be valuable. If Hartley says "hey Sven you've been making some progress but we're going to give you a night off to catch your breathe and watch from upstairs - we think it will help you" then great.
But that's not what happened. Hartley benched him in Phx then told him he wasn't doing enough. Completely different and IMO unwarranted.
You can disagree and that's fine, but don't be a mindless DB and imply that we that we can't see what's wrong in Edmonton.
