I agree that Sven skates hard out there, I find with him is that he over commits a little too much and he is easily beat. He chases a lot. And I can see Hartley's point with regards to the video sessions he mentioned before. Although, I figured the one game would've been enough.
I think they want him to play in all three zones but's it more of being in the right places at the right time. Hartley from what I can gather plays a system where you pretty much shrink the ice, it's a team system, and if one guy is chasing, all over the place then it opens up a lot of holes.
Sven does skate and work hard, though he does chase a lot, and he needs to be in better position and keep the puck in front of him...
