No, my argument is one player has been able to play over 400 NHL games and the other 50. There is nothing CURRENTLY that Sven has shown he can do better than Gagner, and that includes playing with and without the puck, and it includes playing in the offensive and defensive zone. Gagner doesn't contribute enough offensively to warrant being in the NHL if he's as bad as you state defensively. Sven on the other hand is so bad defensively at this point that when he's asked to play a more defensive game he has at the complete expense of him putting up any points, and still his defensive game isn't good enough to warrant staying in the NHL.
One player is NHL caliber right now, the other is not. This argument is stupid, Sven does nothing hockey related better than Gagner at this point in time. It's the reason one has played over 400 games at age 24 and why the other would have to play every game from now until they were 24 to reach 200 games at that point in their life.
