St. Louis Blues Final Grades: Carl Gunnarsson
Carl Gunnarsson had a year he would rather forget this past season. Fortunately for him, Blues fans already have.
The St. Louis Blues knew what they were getting when they signed Carl Gunnarsson prior to the 2014-15 season. They were getting a steady player for a reasonable price.
He has delivered on those promises, but not much more. While you can’t fault him for being the player he has always been, what he brings to the table may no longer be enough.
2016-17 proved to be a year that Gunnarsson would rather forget. He played in his fewest number of games in a non-lockout season since his rookie year.
