Nope but it means he's not making progress and the fact that he hasn't been making progress for over a calendar year now has to be concerning. There really aren't a lot of success stories in the league centered around guys that flat lined after junior as the AHL is littered with guys that could never adapt their junior game in the pros. The odds aren't in his favor. Sven doesn't play center or have the size of a guy like Colborne where even if he doesn't hit his draft projections he can be a solid NHL player. If Sven can't become a dynamic offensive forward he's not going to have a place in the NHL because the rest of his game isn't that great.
