I think Gunnarson will be traded during the off season. I agree with he is more of what the Blues already have. I think Gunnar is a good player, but the fit just didn't really work out that great here.

Exactly;

I think this would be a good lineup for next season:

JayBo/Shatty
Lindbohm/Petro
Jax/Bobby B

Butler/Low Cost FA/AHL call ups.

I don't see us keeping ZM as insurance, and while I like his game, he is not better than Shatty or Petro obviosly to fit in the top 4, and we all know Hitch and above like 'even LHD/RHD pairings' so I see him let to move on.

Gunnerson will hopefully be traded for something as value. He isn't bad, but I think Lindbohm and Jax bring more than Gunner at this point for the cost. Butler has been serviceable and there will be plenty of other UFA to sign for 7th/8th and we may have a chance to see 'another' Lindbohm in some of the young guys w/ the Wolves. I don't think anyone expected his progression to be this strong at this time last year.
