At some point the onus falls on the player himself. Maybe he has the talent, maybe he doesn't, but he didn't show me much over the past year or so. As a big fan of his coming out of junior I kept expecting him to bust out and force the Flames to give him a spot, but he never did that. I don't care if you're on the 2nd line or the 4th line, you have to bust you butt and force the team to keep you around. Sven never did that. And in the meantime other prospects are passing him by. Sucks, and maybe he will show us more with Vancouver than he did here, but you can't keep players around forever waiting for them to take the next step.

That's really what we are talking about here....when we mention Gaudreau, Monahan, Jooris we talk about forcing their way onto the team....Sven simply never did that.
It is that simple for me....doesn't matter if they told him to fill water bottles...fill them like a rabid dog who never wants to go back and fill the old stinky AHL water bottles, or something.
