If this is the real version of Oskar Sundqvist, then both the St. Louis Blues and its fans should be ecstatic. The trade for Sundqvist in June of 2017 was one of the best trades of Doug Armstrong’s tenure.
Acquired from the Pittsburgh Penguins for Ryan Reaves and a second round pick, the Blues also received a first-round pick in the deal, which they then used to draft top prospect Klim Kostin.
To say that Sundqvist has taken his time developing would be a gross understatement. He has played three professional seasons in the NHL prior to the current season and has a combined total of nine points.
