the translations are correct and the truth is that those quotes from Svens father are pretty damning. I'd translate them like this:
"Hartley loves physically strong players, but Sven is a finesse player. Last year they wanted him to play differently, he wasn't allowed to play to his strengths anymore and at some point he didn't know what to do on the ice anymore. I visited Sven last year and the mental stress was huge. Hartley destroyed him as if Sven was solely to blame for the losses. The two of them will probably never be friends. I don't know why the Flames even keep Sven any longer. A trade would probably be the best thing, and that's what I hope for now. With Calgary, it's probably over."
Be careful though, "Blick" is a horrible tabloid afaik ... similar to "Bild" in Germany, for example. Those kind of newspapers love to take quotes out of context in order to make headlines.
I've also found this Blick article from a couple of days ago:
http://www.blick.ch/sport/eishockey/...id3180177.html
it basically says that Gaudreau has overtaken Sven as a top prospect and that's also due to the fact that Gaudreau is American and as a result, Burke basically did and still does everything to get Gaudreau on the team instead of Sven. Which is basically BS, so take Blick with a grain of salt is all I'm saying. Svens fathers comments could easily be taken out of context here.
