I think there is too much negative speculation about Sven's character and it's disappointing to read.
The kid was straight up with the organization. There are no indications that he quit on the Flames. Even did nice charity work with the DQ thing. He has a contract, never violated it, and forewarned the Flames regarding his intentions for the future.
And if his agent convinced him to take this approach, there's nothing wrong with that. The agent has to advocate for the player, and with the contract situation where it is, what they've done is forthright, ethical and reasonable.
I don't see anything here that warrants some of the aspersions cast his way. Sounds like some people are simply bitter at Sven that he may not (yet) be as amazeballs a player as they dreamed.
