What list was Sven on? The prospects list? Monahan is probably next, though most would argue that he's a slightly better prospect than Sven.
Sending a young player to the AHL is pretty commonplace in the modern NHL. Playing with the Heat, who have been amazing for the last month, should do wonders for his confidence. A lot depends on how he mentally copes with it I guess. No reason to think he won't eventually return from this setback and become the NHL player we all (including Burke & Hartley) expect him to be.
