Had Sven been seasoned in the AHL last year instead of getting sent down 1/3 into the NHL season, I guarantee he would have been a better player than what he is right now. Just look at how well Jooris and Granlund have adapted to the NHL level because of playing a full season there.
Sven is a year behind on development because management rushed him in the NHL when he clearly wasn't ready. I have no doubt he'll be a better player once he plays a while longer down in Adirondack.
