To be honest, I don't know. I know that many posters said they liked Sven with Money, but I never could pick out anything unique about it that seemed to make it dangerous or effective. It was almost like watching drills (Just my opinion). And yet it seemed like it was the best line he was on, but didn't seem natural?
Early in the year (Preseason game I went to), I swear it looked like he was looking everywhere on the ice for a place to be and frustration was all over his face. Lots of hesitation and slow decision making. This diminished as the year went on though. I liked the last game he suited up for the big club and he seemed the most relaxed I've ever seen him all year. I think I read a comment on HF where they said Barts might be a player more for a cycle game, but I don't know if that's true (but started the idea of a style comparison).
EDIT: I am not assuming the Flames do not cycle the puck.
That being said, I haven't paid as much attention to Barts as most of the other players. I'm not trying to say anyone else is wrong... consider me just talking out loud.
