Fun to speculate and I don't blame people for looking at trends to try to predict what Sven will be but we just don't know.
Look at Filip Forsberg as an example. Can anyone here or anywhere have predicted he would be a point per game player in the NHL this season based on what he did the last two seasons?
His career NHL stats before this season began were 1g, 5a in 18 gp
His career AHL stats are 15g, 19a in 47gp
Jooris is another example of why you give your prospects time to develop and the opportunity to succeed. If you keep the door open for these guys, why in the world would you give up on a guy with a WHL career and previous NHL and AHL numbers like Sven who additionally has shown a commitment to bulking up and developing other areas of his game?
Sven is still a prospect with a lot of potential. Let's hope he reaches it.
