How is that even remotely unrealistic? Sven played a high energy, big work ethic game in junior, and they're simply asking him to do that again and add a level of grit to his game. Sven is bigger and faster than Gallagher, so it's not even slightly out of the question for them to try and shape his game around Gallagher's.
Sven pretty obviously has an exceptional level of passion for the game, he simply needs to show that in every area of the ice and be a bit more of a rabid dog at times.
He'll be fine.
