Exactly this. The talk about Sven at the time of his draft and subsequent year after the Flames chose him, it was widely known that he would stay after practices and try to hone his skills.
That is why when he was called up to play and scored a few goals, there was initial excitement on the kid (combined with his draft pedigree). It is a shame that he had injuries and also appeared to have become so entitled to a point where he was called out by Burkie.
