I don't ...
... I think he's a great fit for that team, I don't keep track of teams spending habits, nor do I have any idea if the Blues would make a pitch if Ovi were to become available.
I certainly wouldn't 'gut' the team to get him, I don't think its wise for any good team to do so. LA wasn't 'gutted' for Gretzky, so it can be done.
If I were STL, I'd be looking to move a lot of my younger pieces, like Schwartz and Tasasenko...maybe one of the D like Shattenkirk... For a package of Ovi plus some lesser players.
I'd throw in Chris Stewart as well.
