It's only a hollow message if you're a child. A grown up knows when to take things personally and when to suck it up and accept a decision. If I was Sven I'd be that much more motivated the next game, and if he isn't, well too freakin bad kid, suck it up and force them to bench a veteran in favor of you. I personally don't find Hartley's handling of anything so far inappropriate, just inconvenient for a fan base.

You seem to be missing the point... benching Sven isn't a hollow message to Sven, but to the rest of the team. It gives proof to the lie that this team is merit based.
The performance after the fact of him being benched seems to lend that some credence, no?
