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.

Yep, Sven has definitely put himself behind the 8-ball this year. Where once he was leading the pack, now he's playing catch-up. Hope Burke doesn't consider him too far behind the pack and not worth waiting for.
