I am probably in the minority here, but I can't fathom that teams wouldn't want a Sobotka. His contract is expensive for the Blues mostly because of the Berglund contract. Having one third liner making between $3 - $4 million isn't going to kill a team's balance sheet, but having more than one is a problem. However, Sobotka doesn't have much in the way that could stop a deal, so the number would be the only negative to other teams (this is assuming he doesn't have NTCs that I forgot about).
I just don't view Sobotka as immovable as others are saying. It just sounds like hyperbole that is reaching dangerous levels of absurdity. Now I'm sure someone will tell me that if his contract was moveable, it would have been done by now. And if anyone does, I think that's just grasping at straws due to the plethora of other reasons that Sobotka might not have been moved. In the end, I think one of Sobotka or Berglund will not be on the roster next year, and I'm inclined to believe that it will be Sobotka. Mostly because of that asinine NMC involved in Berglund's contract.
