He is a one dimensional player that whined and pouted behind the scenes to force a trade because he was passed over by other younger better players. Based on the way the guy acted on his way out I think it is valid that Flames fans trash the guy.

Agree that durability is surely an issue.
When referencing top 6 players, the cup winning Caps had Lars Eller 6th in scoring at 38 points in 82 games. Sven’s 35 came in 68 games.
People are throwing out claims that he is not top 6 or that he is almost out of the league. In reality, he left here and has taken a step forward to solidify himself as a NHL regular.
Yes I can very clearly see that many are somehow butt hurt by Sven not working out here, but he is no Erixon
