That's like going up to your best talent in your workplace and calling him lazy in a safety meeting while everyone is listening, and then wonder why he wants to quit and is now working for the competition. The trade return was un-winnable even though the return wasn't too bad, its the fact that we HAD to trade him is what bothers me.

More likely Hartley than Burke. Sven wanted more ice time to prove what he could do, Coaches wanted him to prove what he could do before giving him more ice time. Not the first time we've seen that relationship breakdown between a coach and a player and it won't be the last.
