You are never going to get what you are asking for. Not because the claims are untrue, but because of the sensitive nature of the information, which is not going to make its way easily to any "relevant source".
I'm not sure I understand what the problem is. Based on the amount of anecdotal evidence, Sven's attitude in the summer and the early part of the season quite likely was an issue—one that I suspect was badly overblown in the absence of transparency, and how these things tend to translate for alarmists in the fan base who latch on to any bit of gossip and exaggerate it. But things change, and young, immature kids will quite often grow up quickly. Since it has been pretty quiet on this front, and since he seems to be starting to produce consistently at the AHL level, I am willing to bet that this is a dead issue. All evidence suggests that if there was once a problem, the team has addressed it successfully.
