Doug Armstrong’s end of the year press conference with members of the media focused on a few things, which were exactly what fans would expect: what is the team going to do about Alex Pietrangelo’s contract, what’s going on with Vladimir Tarasenko, and why did the Blues get bounced in the first round.
It’s an interesting read, especially the parts about why the Blues weren’t successful this post-season. Fans know that Armstrong can’t really speak in specifics about Pietrangelo’s contract negotiations, and other than “he’s out for five months,” news on Tarasenko will be sparse as well.
