Carl Gunnarsson has a shiny new three year $8.7 Million contract, and the St. Louis Blues will have one of their most consistent defensemen for another three seasons at a fairly cheap rate to boot. Currently, the Blues don’t have any left shot defense prospects that are really ready to take an expanded role as one of the Blues’ top six defenseman.
While he doesn’t have the points that he has had in his career this season. Gunnarsson has been very consistent this season, as he has one of the best Corsi Against (shots allowed) numbers for the Blues this season at 848 through 64 games this season.
