Sven is undoubtedly talented but he's a classic skilled support player. He cannot drive the play himself and relies on others to blaze the path for him. If you surround him with garbage, he's soft and plays like garbage.

We all saw the difference when he played with Monahan. If centered by Henrick, he could pull a Cheechoo and piggy back his way to points. Hopefully Vancouver never promotes him to the top two lines. If he remains on Vancouver's 4th line, he's going to continue to exhibit the same issues and same entitlement problems and lack of success.
