I disagree. I think they've treated the prospects the same and held them all accountable. Sven didn't put in the work or the effort to show he deserved a shot. It's easy to say we should have played him over guys like Seto or Jackman now but at the time, they were old players not producing but have in the past and Sven was a young player not producing who really didn't in the past. I think treating him different would have been a mistake and they did the right thing. As much as it sucks, Sven just wasn't good.
