Why is Sven always being thrown into trade proposals? It's quite annoying. He's a top prospect.
How many 2011's are playing full time in the NHL right now? I can safely say that there are tons of prospects that have taken time to groom and grow before sticking with their NHL club.
Prime examples,
Adam Larsson (D) - 4th overall - played 26 games with the Devils and had 3 points
Ryan Strome - 5th overall - split his season between the NYI and the farm with 18 points in 34 NHL games.
MarkScheifele - 7th overall - played 64 games with the Jets this year and had 34 points
Duncan Siemens - 11th overall - hasn't played a single game with the Avalanche
Jamie Oleksiak (D) - 14th overall - played 7 games with the Stars and no points
J.T. Miller - 15th overall - 30 games with the Rangers this season and only 6 points
Joel Armia - 16th overall - 0 games with Buffalo
Nathan Beaulieu - 17th overall - 17 games with the Canadians and only 2 points
Mark McNeill - 18th overall - 0 games thus far with Chicago. Not even a cup of coffee
Oscar Kelfbom (D) - 19th overall - Only 17 games with Edmonton and failed to stick with arguably the worst club until the season end.
Connor Murphy (D) - 20th overall - 30 games with Phoenix this season and only 8 points
Sven is near the top of these prospects with his point production - 11 points in 26 games this season and was a huge factor in Monahan getting is hot start.
He's still near the top of the Flames prospects. Nothing wrong with him still playing in the A at this point. Keep him there instead of wanting to offload him like a sack of potatoes.
