Unnoticeable, really, he didn't do much of anything, he wasn't involved physically, he didn't generate anything, he just kind of was there.

Sven is a top 6 or nothing player, and while he certainly has top 6 skills, there's just something missing.

Vancouver has no choice but to sign him probably to a one way contract. But I firmly believe that beyond the whole he wanted out thing, that the Flames looked at his character and were more then happy to move him. It sounds like other GM's agreed as Vancouver's offer was far and away the best offer for him.

The kid is just mentally not an NHL'er and might never be.

$10.00 skill set, 5 cent attitude, 2 cent effort level, 1 cent brain.
