Sven to me was a guy who could be a 1st liner or who might be playing in the KHL in three years. It was starting to look more like the latter than the former. So, I'm happy that we crystallized an uncertain asset. Especially for a 2nd in a deep draft.
I'm disappointed that Sven didn't work out. There was so much promise early but he seems to have totally stalled after Burke sent him down last year.
I wanted to be able to wish him well, but he's a Canuck now, so that ain't happening. Plus, if he wanted out, then I don't really care.
