Sven had an off year, but he is a young player and only a 13th overall pick. These types of player take time. We've put in this much development time already, I just think the best option is to keep both and stay the course

In terms of talent it's more like >>>>
Watch more clips of Johnny, his abilities to maintain puck control are exponentially higher than Sven's. The flames management wanting Ritchie is probably in large part due to them wanting him to play with Johnny. The management is underselling Johnny at every point to take the pressure off him but the pure talent is unmatched by everyone on the Flames. Management probably had a big party the day Johnny signed.
