In the words of the Five Heartbeats, I got nothing but love for you, Doug Armstrong.
The St. Louis Blues General Manager performed the ultimate microphone drop on Sunday evening when he capped off a flurry of activity on the first day of NHL free agency with a trade for embattled Buffalo Sabres center Ryan O’Reilly.
After signing former Blue David Perron and inking Toronto Maple Leafs center Tyler Bozak to a deal earlier in the afternoon, Armstrong pulled out the bat phone and brought in the final piece, Mr. O’Reilly. I’m not sure how a Blues fan can possibly be upset with this guy from here on out.
