A combination of the ongoing sense I got from the way he was used while the saga was going on, and my experience watching hockey in the NHL over a number of years and seeing this happen repeatedly with different teams, coaches, and players - usually of the offensively gifted, non "gritty" variety. It happens so often it's almost a surprise when it doesn't, and to some extent you get the impression it had to be someone on this team, as on most all teams, eventually. Happened to be Sven.
In other words it's basically pure intuitive speculation you may ignore at your leisure.
