Sven's PPG in the AHL is 0.73, and has trended down every single year.
Sven's PPG in the NHL is 0.42, and has trended down every single year.

If his only game is producing offense, which it is, I don't want a guy given a long term spot in our top 6 who's going to produce 32 points/year (and again trending in wrong direction in either league). In fact the Flames gave him a very good chance. They noticed his production trends and told him to learn a 200 ft game if he wants to play on the team. They were very patient with him about it. He didn't learn.

Guys like Jooris, Bouma can chip in offensively and get a hot hand every so often but they are energy guys, great skaters, blocking shots, hitting, giving their entire body to the cause. They put their head down and give it their all every single second. Sven is not that. If he's not producing he's useless. Move on.
