At the end of the day Sven didn't fit in here.

He was his own worst enemy in terms of what he did on the farm, where he couldn't find the consistancy to prove that he was an NHL player.

I don't think that anyone believes that Sven could transition over to the Right wing which is the biggest hole in the Flames prospect pool. With his waiver status changing next season, and with Gaudreau and Poirier surpassing him on the left side, this move isn't a surprise, the timing is.

I doubt that he was going to get more then a second, unless he was packaged with something significant.

I wish him nothing but the best, he was the first prospect in a long time that was worth getting excited about. But at the end of the day he just wasn't a fit here and Treliving ended the experiment and sent him somewhere where he can fit better into a teams depth chart.
