Carl Gunnarsson has had an injury-plagued career with the St. Louis Blues and this season has been no different for the 32-year-old Swede. However, with his performance this season when healthy, his play has warranted a spot on next year’s roster.
Injuries have defined the career of Gunnarsson. When healthy, it is clear that he has been a productive everyday defenseman, but those times are few and far between.
He only has one full season of action under his belt during his ten-year NHL career. In 2013-14, Gunnarsson played a career-high 80 games for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
