Sven didn't show nearly enough offense to be given a spot as an offensive specialist.

I'm sure he can be a solid forward with enough seasoning but to me, as someone who doesn't know him that well outside the NHL, he seemed pretty incoherent on the ice, like he needed time to settle down and figure things out. And frankly he seemed more worried about what he was or wasn't being given than about improving his game.

Maybe now he feels more free to focus on the right things.
