Also Sven has sat twice in 15 games so far.

It's not like they are sitting him in the pressbox every night, stunting his development because he is not playing, and not giving him an explanation or telling him what he needs to work on.

Hartley and the coaching staff appear to be working really closely with Sven and giving him lots of 1 on 1 coaching time. I'm going to be patient and let this one play out because it will likely be better for Sven in the long term.\

There can be more then one reason to sit a player, it's not always a punishment.

For veterans it is a punishment to be benched, for younger guys it can be as simple as giving them a different view of the game, taking a step back, and letting them learn.
