He's kind of in the Jankowski range where if he works out great if not I don't really care as there are better players in the Flames system right now. He could go back to Europe for all I care and I wouldn't think it really changes the Flames future prospect list all that much.

A wasted asset is a wasted asset. I for one hope that management has this right because no matter how many other guys might pan out, the organization should not be squandering the potential of a player who scored 2 ppg in the WHL and has a better point per game average than most of the players on their active roster despite having limited playing time and not being put in ideal situations.
I'm sure there are plenty of NHL GMs who would agree and would be glad to take Sven off our hands. I believe and hope the organization values him much more highly than you do.
