Svechnikov is really starting to come along now, you can see his confidence growing with each game. He still has a lot of work to do on his all-around game, and turns the puck over more than you would like, but he hasn't looked out of place on the top line or top PP when he's played with those players, and there is no doubt that he works well with Martinook on that 3rd line, they're a speedy heavy duo to play against.
I like the way he's been handled this year by the Canes - not rushed at first or put into situations where he had to perform for the team to get wins. It looked like he was feeling the pressure even without being put in situations which would have added to it. He was tentative at first but his play is a lot more instinctual now, he's not over thinking things like he did at the start of the year.
