This is a key off-season for Sven. He isn't dumb. He may have disagreed with the demotion but I'm sure he's noticed guys like Colborne and Granlund moving up the depth chart while he's sitting in Abbotsford. A year ago at this time, Colborne, Knight, Monahan, Porier, Klimchuk weren't in the organization. Granlund was a giant question mark in Finland, Reinhart was struggling in the AHL, Agostino and Hanowski were still in college. There's a possibility he ends up being the forgotten man if he doesn't step up next year.
If he doesn't come back motivated next year and ready to step his game up, then we've got some concerns.
