I would say there was tons of hype, but based at least partly on the fact that the prospect cupboards were mostly bare. Nothing wrong with that either. He lit up the WHL post draft, he did well in his first, short stint, but that all happened 3+ years ago and he didn't seem to develop in the way we had hoped. Development isn't necessarily linear, so good luck to Sven on turning things around, but not too much luck.
