Blues GM Doug Armstrong after the 2025 Trade Deadline
St. Louis Blues President and General Manager Doug Armstrong discusses the decision to stand pat at the trade deadline during a meeting with the media.
Army was between a rock and a hard place because of the NTC he's given out in the past. It's unlikely we'll make the playoffs so just sit tight and wait for things to open up in the summer.
The message hear should be don't EVER give a NTC to a player that has never played for your organization. This lead to Armstrong's premature retirement in my opinion. I give Doug Armstrong credit though he showed accountability and had a great off-season this past off-season, but its extremely difficult to make trades without much cap room flexibility.
Okay, am I really wrong for saying that… as Jimbo said last game about culture and attitude of players in the locker has changed, especially, over last couple of weeks, well, isn't it true that THAT'S what matters in life or sports! We all recall teams in ANY sport that over-achieved and won more games than they should have! Am I saying this right??

Best GM in the league.
This was just one of those circumstances when doing nothing was the best thing to do
He’s gonna learn to stop giving out no trade clauses! This team needs to get bigger!
Can someone give me the tldr?

I'm ok with us standing pat
We don't need to make a deal just to make a deal
Younger players will be coming up soon
Future will be bright!
I would have liked to move a dman but Parayko being injured didn't help that…or the NTC on every contract
these St. Louis teams are really pissing me off with their unwillingness to make ANY moves to better the team
