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.

I guess there ain't enough adult drinks that you can knock back to erase the hurt that MSL caused Flames fans and I think a lot of anger is just directed at management at the time. There's no doubt that if we had MSL in 2004, history would probably be different.
I just hope Sven goes down and lights it up. For his sake and for the sanity of Flames fans of "what could have been?".....here was a kid I religiously watched in junior hockey with portland in his draft year and saying...wow this kid is something....only if we could get him at #13...and then he had that swagger about wanting to be better than RNH.....now....its almost all gone.
