If you are grooming someone to be a top 6 forward, play him with top 6 players and give him PP time..put him in a position to succeed.
If not just cut or trade him already....

Poor Sven, blah blah............. Flames sure are out to get him. He's on the cusp of being a full time NHL player, maybe the Flames want him to be the offensive catalyst on a line, make a line that wouldn't be a threat with out him, an actual threat. Having Sven produce because he's paired up with other producers proves nothing nor does it really help Sven develop.
He's supposed to be one of the ready now prospects, those guys should make the players in the AHL around him better. If Sven requires top notch line mates in the AHL to succeed, things aren't looking great for him I'd say..........not that I believe it to be the case that he requires that, or that he's actually not getting paired with some good folks.
