The demotion to the AHL will allow him to regain some confidence. But yet, I don't think it's entirely a confidence issue. The guy needs time to bulk up. If this were NHL 14 video game, I'd be putting all my XP towards Balance, Strength, Puck Control and Defensive Awareness.

Sven has been just fine in his own zone. Yes, he needs to bulk up, but he's never going to be a big hulking hockey player.
He's a skilled player. Let's develop him into a skill player and put the xp in skating, shooting, passing, whatever. This is what he is.
