I remember reading something (Hartley I think) said a while back. A player has to contribute something. If they are not scoring they have to contribute elsewhere whether it's hitting, providing energy, puck possession, block shots, whatever, they have to contribute. Byron and Hudler have shown they contribute when not scoring. Setoguchi has the last two games but after Sven, he's the next underperformer and the next to go, IMO. Sven needs to contribute more and prove he can contribute more consistently when not scoring and yes he can do that with the icetime he is getting. Byron did, Jooris is, Gaudreau is and they are getting rewarded with more icetime and responsibility. Sven has to step up.
