How about Sven do something to earn that instead of just being given it. Jooris was on the 4th line and scratched one game, he came back playing better and was getting OT ice time. Gaudreau wasn't doing anything to start the year, his ice time was decreasing and he was scratched. He came back playing much better and is getting big ice time and PP time (when not sick).
If Sven was showing anything, I'm sure they'd give him a chance. They aren't playing him on the 3rd line to be jerks. They are playing him on the 3rd line because he hasn't shown anything to be moved up.
