He's talented but I think maybe Flames fans are overrating his game. He wasn't very good with the Flames and hasn't hit his stride in Abbotsford. It's obviously not just Burke and Hartley that see the shortcomings in his game given the management of the Swiss team also doesn't see a player ready to help them.
Not sure where he's going to fit with new management but I don't think his trade value is great at the moment. Hopefully he can get going in the 2nd half of the AHL season and make a push for the Flames in training camp next season. Flames can't afford guys like Sven to be busts.
