I understand every good reason for keeping Sven in the minors at this period of time. However, wanting something, rather than nothing, to get excited about at games, I believe that bringing him up to play with Monahan, would not interfere with his development, and at the same time would add to our enjoyment of the game. For anyone paying the price to watch the recent display at the dome, it's like throwing money out the window.
The only knock I have against Burke is his bias towards bigger players. We had enough of that with Sutter for too many years. And I feel his treatment of Sven by calling him out in public, and continually benching him, was a detriment to this team.
