While that is a hilarious hypothetical, this is the meathead Benning quote I was talking about

Yeah I was surprised, but for whatever reason sometimes players need a change of scenery, I think Sven is sort of at that point. A couple years ago scouting all through North America, I thought Sven was the best junior in the country. He was a dynamic player and he played on some real good teams, he played for Mike Johnston who likes to play a fast style of game, and he was excellent. I can't comment on his development the last couple of years, but we're very excited to have him, we think he fits our profile of being a fast, talented, skilled player so I think he's going to fit in good with our young players going forward.
