I know people are upset Jackman's in and not Baertschi, but Jackman's just a placeholder. He's there to play when they feel Sven needs to sit out a game and work on positioning.
Sven is a prospect the organization wants to develop longterm. It does him no favours to continue playing him when he's played bad. Last thing you want is to spoon feed him minutes when he doesn't deserve it. Look how well it's working up in Edmonton.
I don't mind the tough love approach. Seemed to have worked well with Kadri.
