Sven signed his first pro contract when he was 18, so he should be exempt for 5 years or 160 NHL games, whatever comes first. So unless I'm wrong, there's still a cushion of one year or 95 NHL games.
EDIT: actually I'm wrong because although he was 18 when he signed, he still counts as 19 that year because of his late birthday. That means he only is exempt for 4 years or 160 NHL games ... and this is the 4th year, so he'll need waivers next year. Sorry, my bad!
