I actually think that Sven has a much better chance of making the NHL on another team than he would if he stayed in Calgary. Not because Calgary did anything wrong, or there is more opportunity in Van, but simply because clearly Sven got himself in a headspace where he simply wasn't going to be able overcome this without a change.

Long term, how successful he will be will depend on whether he will deal with the future adversities he faces better than he did this one, because if not he'll fail, but if he can grow and mature, it could work out.
