Man people do your research before making yourself look like an ass. I was a long time Sven guy, but he had an attitude problem. His agent came out and said he wasn't signing in Calgary when his deal was up. Where there's smoke, there's fire. There have been rumblings of his attitude and general unhappiness with the way management handled him. Furthermore, he was waiver eligible next year, so we'd lose him for nothing. Do you think he would have been a regular on the big club next year? Please.
Finally, trading a NON-NHLer for a 2nd rounder is a good deal any day.
The ONLY bad part of this trade is that it was with the Canucks. I liked Sven and I'm sad that he didn't pan out. But this his problem.
PS: I also think it is pretty cool that the site crashed when the trade broke. It shows how passionate the fan base is. A guy who isn't even on the big club gets traded and the site explodes. That is kinda cool to me.
