It all comes to down to his on-ice reaction now. Remember when Gaudreau was cut from the WJC team in 2011? He was pissed, but his focus immediately shifted to proving everybody wrong and subsequently lit up the league in the second half of the season. That's what Sven has to do now - suck it up, play his his heart out and prove that Treliving and Hartley have made a mistake. If he does that, he'll be back up in no time. But if he sulks again and feels sorry for himself, I'll be worried.
