I think for any prospect, for any player, that's a hard thing to play through.

Nazem Kadri got this treatment and then some. And that was in Toronto where the media and fan scrutiny is even more intense. He was recalled and reassigned six times before establishing himself, and while I'm not the biggest fan of his play, he's an established NHLer that has put up 50 points and produced at almost a point per game pace at times. They also seem like similar players in that a lot of their effectiveness is based on confidence, Kadri goes through long point droughts and then erupts for big scoring streaks.
Not everyone's path to the NHL easy or the same. Sven getting demoted and recalled a couple times this year would not be shocking. Personally I'm not ready to write him off and I really hope the Flames management isn't either.
