When has Joe Colborne, Paul Byron or even Glencross or Stajan played "above" the competition? Same goes for probably 16 guys on every 20 man roster. They are there because they can play with the competition. Sometimes they win and sometimes they lose. Only the all star type players end up above the competition frequently rather than "at" the level of competition. That's how I see it anyway.

If you're going to judge the team for mishandling him by not having him in the lineup, you can only base that on Sven clearly deserving a spot based on his play. I don't see how anyone can say that. I've honestly never seen that. At best you can have a debate about it.
Even Byron's best games have been far better than Bärtschi's best games as far as I recall.
Sven's dad might have different ideas but then dads usually do.
