The value would be fine but I don't think the Blues would consider moving Sunny. Perfect fit for the coach/style of play, can play in lots of situations and at C or W, and on a good deal for 3 more years.

Ya, I was thinking with Klim Kostin ready to come up and play at RW, and O’Reilly, Rob Thomas and T.Bozak at your 3 centers, and even with V.Tarasenko(hopefully), and Steen coming off the IR at RW. He would be expendable.

It is definitely getting crowded if everyone is healthy at the same time, but I feel like they'd shop Barbashev/Sanford/Blais/Bozak before moving Sundqvist. Just a hunch - obv if they could get a really nice return then they'd have to consider it. I'd be surprised if they left Sunny off of the expansion protection list tbh, and those other guys would likely be exposed.

What about trading Steen or Kostin?? I think Kostin might be something more like N.Legare and a 2nd round pick though. I think Steen would be an option too though. Coming off an injury and making 5.7M and becomes a FA after this year. His last year on his deal. If the Blues could get a prospect and a 2nd round pick and some cap relief.

I don't hate it, like the player. But thing is, they never played him while he was here the 1st time. It's not like he wasn't ready, he went to STL and played well.
I think think this is chalked up to another one of those guys Sully just wasn't interested in.
