I know this is gonna sound reallllllyyyy far fetched but I think Sven needs to play in the SEL or KHL to gain his offensive swagger back.
Backlund was in a similar spot as Sven and the lock out was best thing that could have happened to his game. I don't recall what league he played in, but he ended up dominating and finding his game again. He came back a completely different player.
Maybe Sven just needs a change of scenery. At this point, i'm sad to say he doesn't fit in with this team. I hope to eat pubes about this, i'd be happy to do so.
