Sanguinious is my favorite primarch so I am definitely biased, but i believe that Sanguinious has been set up for a rebirth. Of all the primarchs Sanguinious was closest in abilities to the Emperor and also closer to his sons than any of the other primarchs. The black rage that plagues the Blood Angels and their successors is symptomatic of this, also some of his sons have visions of him and the flaming angel that appears occasionally to save his sons may well be Sanguinious himself in spirit form. What I believe is that Sanguinious was so deeply connected to his sons that when he died his spirit was tied to them and can't "move on".

Now as for Sanguinious returning we know his body has been preserved by a stasis field and if his soul is still bound to the material plane in some fashion as I surmise, then it would well be in the Emperors power to return him to life at some point. Sanguinious would be the only dead primarch who could be returned this way as none of them worshiped the Emperor and so could not be claimed by him. Also the story of Sanguinious has many Christ like attributes so a rebirth at the critical moment is well within the bounds of possibility in my view.
