I think it's waaay to early to be writing off Sven and even proclaiming that he's no longer in the organization's plans long term. Even if you include Bennet into the equation, Sven is still the 5th youngest player on the roster at 22 years old (and in a pack with guys like Reinhart, Arnold and Agostino on the farm).
It goes without saying that last year was a complete write off for the kid and he's now a year behind in his progress, but he's still a pretty young prospect with a high upside. If a 24 year old Corbon Knight and Ben Hankowski aren't considered out of the organization yet, then Baertschi has plenty of time to get back on track.
