There are a couple different groups on here it seems.
1. Some who don't care anymore, he is not a Flame anymore and is playing with the enemy.
2. Some who feel he was not given a fair shake and had to play with linemates who were not up to snuf and he was set to fail from the start.
3. Others who think he was given a fair shake, especially when paired with Monahan.
4. Those who think Sven will be the next big thing and score 30 goals a season.
5. Those who can't believe he was traded to the Canucks.
Am I missing any groups? I can see this topic beaten to death, if it hasn't been already 65 pages in.
I feel that he was given a fair shake to succeed here. He had the same opportunities to impress in the AHL, at practice in the NHL with the flames and in the game he got into. He didn't have to score a bunch of goals to move up the lineup, he just had to contribute and not make too many mistakes at both ends of the ice. Well, he didn't do what his coaching staff felt he had to. It is that simple, whether we like it or not.
If he is an entitled, young player who's dad meddles with his hockey career, then maybe he isn't the kind of guy we need around here. I hope he finds his feet in the NHL some day but I hope it isn't with the Canucks.

you missed one more group. those that feel compelled to criticize others for discussing the topic, calling it a 'dead horse', then proceed to give their own two paragraph opinion, none of which is original or hasn't already been better articulated.
