doesn't seem like an attitude problem to me, seems like he's just another 21 year old skill player that couldn't handle the NHL game yet. Problem for Sven is he's so much purely tooled towards one role that he doesn't know how to adapt when dangling doesn't work, hopefully he figures it out one day.
He's got amazing hand eye but he's not fast enough with his feet or hands to Datsyuk around people so I don't know what he's going to do, it's going to be tough to develop a player like that on a small team with a number of undersized skill players. Maybe he can try to play a playmaker role more than a sniper because at present he has shown he isn't going to be able to get to get that open spot successfully. If he could learn to create some space and draw people out of position to make that pass more often he'd start to find some production because at present the opponents just need to rough him up a bit and his game completely goes out the window. This outcome was fairly predictable for a guy like Sven on a team like ours
