He is fragile and will never work in a merit based system. He is all about pedigree and being pumped up, and quite honestly, I hate that. He is pretty much the anti-Bennett.

Yeah Hartley probably saw it the same way. Hartley seems to like players that go all in and Sven at times seemed to be holding back. It's not like he didn't have plenty of opportunities. For the most part I think Sven just didn't or wasn't willing to fit into what Hartley wanted from him. I can recall how Hartley talked about Johnny and Monahan how they had to play a certain way and then the results and the scoring would come. Sven on the other had would just withdraw and then the issue of confidence would come up. It could be that Sven wasn't willing to trust what Hartley was trying to show him so he could become a complete player that's hard to play against.
