Or he could happily go home.

I think the time frame and considerations for foreign nationals could be a bit different.

Sven could be thinking that he needs to make the NHL by a certain age, and if not, he'll go home to Switzerland and play locally. He'll enjoy his job and enjoy his environment. Nothing wrong with that.

Unlike a previous prospect, at least the kid was honest in his conversations with management.
