It is my opinion that the Blues should trade Sanford if Hoffman stays with the team (which appears likely). If the top six wings going forward on this team (beyond this season) are going to be Schenn, Schwartz (presumably), Tarasenko, and Kyrou, then Sanford is at best on your third line, where you can find people for cheaper than he'll make on his next contract (like Blais). Obviously Hoffman is now getting the minutes that Sanford would have been getting in the top six this year, so why wait? Get assets now instead of when we'll be losing him for nothing in the expansion draft (if they take him). We really need to clear a roster spot for Kyrou anyway.
