Disappointing. Clearly Sven had lost the confidence of the organization to the point that
- they wanted to return him to get some return
- They were willing to trade him to a divisional rival
- they didn't think he would turn it around so they re-set the clock on the prospect with a later pick

Bottom line is if they didn't see him any longer as an NHLer I get it. This could bite the team back though. Sven was a guy I thought would be quite the player.
