I thought Sven made some serious strides during this last call-up, despite limited ice-time and low production. It seemed as though he was grasping what it took to make it to the show and stick. I definitely take that as a positive.
I'm still not fully convinced he is a regular NHLer, but there is an effort there that I haven't taken notice of in the past few seasons. Hopefully he learned a ton, takes this send-down for what it is (a numbers decision), and fires on all cylinders in prep for the next inevitable call-up.
