With regards to Sven staying up... Isnt there something about once a player on an ELC plays a certain number of games then he can no longer be sent down without having to clear waivers first? Is this part of the problem?
The only other thing I want to say is that last year Sven started out pretty good but was sent down because he wasn't playing a 2 way game enough? Why couldn't they have left him up and slowly allowed him to work on that while keeping his offence abilities intact... I felt then as I do now that he was and is a bit of a whipping boy for someone.. Hartley? Burke? ( And I love both of these guys)
A good prospect...or was... I can see why he is confused . A lot of Flames management present and past have blood on their hands over this as does the player himself now.. Might be time to try and swap him for a great D prospect. Sven deserves a chance to hit the reset button. Sometimes these things get too out of hand and its just too late....
