Well using the same metric Sven has proved more than JG. And if NHL experience is first and foremost there are about 10 guys ahead of JG. I don't think its a double standard necessarily. It may seem so to us, but im sure the conversations between management and Sven have been pretty clear as far as why he is where he is. Because we need 25 year old Sven to be really good. If thats at the cost of having a mediocre 21 year old NHL player, so be it. Its not just about 0.5 pts/game. Monahan played because he was one of the top 4 centers and his play away from the puck is ahead of Sven in a pretty significant way.
