Also, the reaction to the Erixon thing was almost 100% anger and "good riddance", the reaction to this is at least mixed with surprise and people wishing they hadn't traded him.

Yeah I disagree to an extent. I don't necessarily blame him for requesting a trade, but he felt entitled which will never work in the post-Jarmoe era.
The situation wasn't untenable. Look at Jooris. Against all odds he busted his ass, and most would agree Jooris has less raw talent than Sven, yet Jooris is a regular. Sven just couldn't/wouldn't buy into the mantra of the team. I'd bet any money that if Sven worked as hard as Jooris, (Or Bouma, or Colborne, etc) he would be a regular on the big club.
Since Sven's camp decided they don't want to be in the org anymore, a 2nd rounder for a non-NHLer is actually a heck of a deal.
