I think some posters on this forum would have a different view on Sven if he were to be drafted, and signed with a different NHL club.
Also, the last couple pages are filled with his junior stats. The winterhawks were a team filled with great talent so his linemates were top notch offensively gifted players, and also how on earth does his junior stats matter? he was playing against kids 1-2 years plus or minus either older than him or younger than him. NHL is men and some players who put up these numbers in junior CANT translate to a mans league. Best way to describe this is like these Midget AAA or small-ish junior players, making the jump to play senior mens hockey. Playing against strong men who can dominate a smallish youngster for position in these "high traffic areas".
