St. Louis Blues GM Doug Armstrong discusses competition in camp, the leadership group, injuries, his outlook for the season and more on Sept. 18 after the first day of training camp.
Armstrong belongs in The Blues Hall of Fame! One helluva GM. I wonder if can fix The Cardinals? The Blues try hard to get it right. Hats off to Stillman and the rest of the org.
I don't think enough attention is given to the Robert Thomas 8×8.125m contract extension and how he already looks like a bargain after year 1.
Especially when you contrast it with the contract extensions signed in the next year or so – like Nylander's 8×11.5, Hintz' 8×8.45m, Larkin's 8×8.7m, Pettersson's 8×11.6m etc.
Seeing the salary jump around PPG or PPG+ centers finishing up their RFA seasons over the past 2 year span is crazy! And that's ignoring the UFA contract jumps in recent years which absolutely exploded.
He comes off super honest. Especially when compared with Mo. His answers are direct and exude competence. Again a total opposite when compared to cards situation.
Can't wait for hockey to start, excited to see the team, but also trying to temper expectations out of the gate: it often takes time for 1 new player to gel with their new teammates, and we have a bunch. Let's Go Blues!

Bolduc, Peterson, and Dvorksy stood out to me. There's even more who are also playing fantastic.
