BUT....selfish individual players also win Stanley Cups...they aren't your captains...or leaders...theyre just another part of your team.
BTW...Martin St. Louis and his Stanley Cup say hi.

Yes, I definitely agree, but in a case with a possible issue guy (again nothing has been confirmed here on how Sven thinks), you have to try to see if you can make him come around and do things in a more optimal manner. If not then you make a determination of what to do with him then. That might mean having him on the 2nd/3rd line until something better comes along, sort of like Chicago with Versteeg the first time around, or you move him in a talent for talent trade (Chris Stewart for Erik Johnson type move on a lesser scale)
And BTW, I'm glad you're putting up a different point of view. It's always good to have discussions with different views, I was a bit heavy handed in my counter argument though and it wasn't directed at you. I'm annoyed at the potential situation being discussed. I like Sven's abilities and would rather not lose him because of immaturity, and it's frustrating having this discussion instead of looking forward to what he'll be bringing to the team.
