Does that mean he isn't a fit for the Flames? It's up to management but I think he still is. I don't think we need a team of players that are a jack of all trades but a master of none. I think we need a dash of offensively minded players, defensively minded players and a mix of two way players. Sven to me fits in the offensive category.

Why not? He did it just fine in junior. Other small guys like Martin St.Louis do it just fine.
I don't think they want him to be some defensive dynamo, but there is quite literally zero reason why he can't play a sound and competitive game in all 3 zones.
I don't like this "Sven likely isn't he type of player to..." stuff. He's young, lots left to learn. If he isn't doing something in particular right now then this is the perfect time to teach him.
