Absolutely! It seems he and the Flames and what the staff asked him to do was not going to work. And TBH he may not pan out at all. Benning took a flyer on the guy and it's up to Sven to prove that his experience in Calgary was not the norm.
It's up to him to prove he belongs in the NHL. Calgary got great value IMO for a player that was going to walk. Vancouver is hoping he is going to find his touch and mesh with Hansen and Horvat.
