Ok, let’s get things out of the way first. Vladimir Sobotka is not coming back to the St. Louis Blues.
That much is clear. What apparently is not clear is why so many people have a fairly vicious hatred of him.
Fan Sentiment
Any quick scan of social media, Twitter in particular, and you are bombarded with thoughts of “good riddance” and worse. It is quite puzzling.
Sobotka is not worth the effort we’ve all had to invest in him. He’s a very hard working player with a bit of offensive ability, but he was never a goal scorer and never a game changer.
