I was originally on the keep Sven up crew, but his terrible giving up style of play down there proves it needed to be done. He has put in thousands upon thousands of hours, moved away from family at 17 years of age, then the prospect of being sent to (a decently sized city) for a period of a few weeks to months just makes him give up? An NHL career is right in the palm of your hands.

Sven, Mike Cammalleri played in the AHL for 3 seasons AFTER 3 seasons in college. He makes $6 Million per year. You have all the tools to make it happen.

I guess being the best player ever (potentially) in your country to play a sport might go to your head.
Or, Sven, like a thousand rookies before him, is struggling to transition to the pro game. Since none of us have any evidence that he has given up or that he's a prima donna, I'll go with my theory.
