So whats happening with Sven these days?

[FBI]

I too hope Sven tears up the playoffs because otherwise I think Burke won't have patience for him and will trade him..

Is it really likely that he is going to get so much better that his numbers will basically double? That seems pretty unlikely.

Not saying it will happen to Colborne, but it's pretty common for players his age to have their numbers double. Partly due to increased playing ability and partly due to increased opportunities.

A player aged 24 going from 25ish points to 50ish points is totally normal. In fact, if it doesn't happen it could be the beginning of the end for Colborne's NHL career.

Further proof that Burke is a moron, if it happens.

Pretty harsh to criticize someone for hypothetically doing something.

Well I already think he is a buffoon. This would simply solidify my impression. In my mind at least.

If Sven has success Burke messed up? I assume if he doesn't that is his fault as well.

If he trades him because he doesn't go on a tear in the playoffs.

Which is the comment I was replying to.

I'm unsure how that was difficult to understand.

Why do you think he is a buffoon?

Probably just irrational hate because of Burke's abrasive style. Him and T & T should start a movement to look for a more timid person to run the organization.

I wish people would stop saying this. Only 90 players in the NHL scored 50 or more points. Expecting a player to jump from where Colborne is to the top 90 players in the league is unreasonable.

I don't want someone timid. I want someone who isn't basing his decisions on antiquated notions.

He's a goof.

While I have found him to be a bit of a blow hard at times, what is it that makes him antiquated?

The hooker joke he led with in his talk to UofC Law a couple months ago...that was Jurassic.
