10 minutes of ice time is a 6th of the game. It's just around half of a first line guy, and about 75% of a second line guy. Sven was not earning more ice time.
I can easily imagine what would have happened with more ice time because I saw what happened with what he got. Multiply that result by the additional minutes. I also saw what Jooris and Gaudreau and Granlund did with the same amount of time to start with.
Sven was put in a position to sink or swim and he sank. You can blame the coaches and management all you want, but a player's success is usually based on the player.

So are you telling me that 10 mins of ice time is a good amount of time to show anything? Laughable.
Show any player that produces anything with 10 mins of ice. Good luck with that. I can't wait to see what you come up with. Sven averaged 9:12.
You say that Jooris, Granlund and Gaudreau also started with the same amount of ice? Once again you are making shiz up. Do you not know that you can easily look up these stats?
Jooris first game: 15:29
Granlund first game: 17:57
Johnny first game: 16:04
All those are more than Sven ever got.
I guess we will see if/when the Canucks give him more ice time what he does with it. Just baffles me that they traded him without finding out. He was never put into a position to sink or swim.
