In fairness, I think we need to acknowledge the role of the agent-player relationship here. In all likelihood, the player probably let his general feelings and intentions known to his agent and it's the agents style more than anything that's reflected in dealings with the team. It was probably like "hey, I'm really starting to not be happy in Calgary, let's explore other options" and then the agent did what he had to do to make it happen to the maximum benefit of his client.
That being said now that Sven is Canucks property, he has adopted their stink and it seems to fit him well. I cheer for clothes, not players.
