Yeah, Kobasew is a lot better at finding open areas of the ice. Sven actually has a pretty good toolbox and hockey sense, but my god is he ever "meh"... couldn't think of a player of similar ilk that was successful (maybe teammate Vrbata? EDIT : Jan Hlavac?) ... didn't click until last night, but I went with Hnat Domechelli. Same skill, strengths/weaknesses and style.
