I'm not sure why this is so difficult for people to understand. For Sven to be 'as good' as Setoguchi is NOT GOOD ENOUGH! Setoguchi is a cheap, temporary place-holder on a rebuilding team. Setoguchi is there so that the Flames have the luxury of not rushing the development of a first round draft pick who they feel will eventually be CONSIDERABLY better than Setoguchi.
We all mock the (stupid) Oilers for rushing their kids and then we jump on the Flames when they feel that the best thing for a player's development is to be sent down. The fact that the Flames are sending Sven down shows that they still believe in his ability to be the kind of top 6 player that they envisioned when they drafted him. The very point is that he is not there yet, for Sven, in the eyes of the Flames, being as good as Devin frickin' Setoguchi is NOT GOOD enough.

Simmer down everyone, could it be that the Flames know what they are doing? Could it be that this is really the best thing for Sven? Let's just wait and see before we burn down the Dome.
